Winery review: "A complex well-balanced wine, aged primarily in French oak for 14 months, rich in fruit character with hints of cedar and spice."
My review: This is the first wine I've tasted where I've understood what "oaky" meant. The nose and palette both have strong oaky qualities. Unlike the winery description, I don't get a lot of rich fruit character. Rather, the taste is slightly spicy and oaky, with a medium, spicy finish.
