Translucent ruby red color. Smells overwhelmingly of oak. The palate is better with a good texture and some nice fruit, but I still taste mostly wood. Finish has good length, but this wine is a true oak monster. Very disappointing wine. Maybe it's just in a weird phase, but I wouldn't bet on it. Only $23 at release, so at least not a lot of money was wasted. I will decant overnight in the cellar and see where this is headed by tomorrow. Folks with high oak tolerance may like this wine a lot more than I.
