    I put this away (unfortunately more than 1) to see if oak integrated, this is an extracted dense wine with little charm. C+

    Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
