This is still very youthful with aromas and flavours not yet fully integrated. There are very noticeable oak aromas...
This is a full bodied, fairly dense, complex and rich blend that has been bathed in oak. Expect ripe cola, cherry...
Curiously sweet-sour fruit and notable greeness matched with jammy character make this awkward; as does high alcohol...

Notes of dried black cherry, cinnamon stick, smoke and even animale character. The wine is quite tannic. The palate is ripe full-bodied and even seemed off-dry (although still is dry) as the wine is so ripe with fruit.
Amenable to decanting for an hour or best paired with rare beef.

Not the best oka I have ever had.
