Still some oak on the nose. Nice fruit on the palate but not too much. Mild pineapple. Good acidity. Some heat peeking out (14%) but not too much. Most people wouldn’t notice it. All in all not bad. You can do better in burgundy for fifty bucks but This is nice. ... more fruit after a few days open.
