Comments: After brief decanting the ripe blackberry/raspberry fairly leapt from the glass. Later the nose became more oak-dominated - dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Great structure in the mouth without being agressive, fruity attack with a fair amount of acidity making the finish a little sharp.
