Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Prune and baked fruit aromas lead the bouquet, which brings some earth and leather. The palate is thick and full, with sweet, savory, roasted plum and berry flavors. Foresty, spicy notes drift onto the finish, but there’s also a flatness that keeps things restricted.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The “oak” in the name is appropriate because this one is draped in unctuous, heavy, burnt aromas. The nose is a cloud of coconut, char and woody blackberry, while the syrupy palate is all sweet black plum, carob, mint and resin. Quite oaky and thick for a value-priced wine.

Wet dirt on the nose accented by fresh cut flowers. Not totally harmonious bouquet. Classically jammy mid-palate, with strange barnyard funk on the finish.
