Will you confuse this with DRC , of course not. This wine more than stands on its own merits. Decanted for 30 mins. A nose that pops with red fruit and some earth. On the palate, there is weight but it is beautiful ripe fruit giving you flavors of red cherry, strawberry and pomegranate. Definitely a vein of mineral and spice. Good acid and tannin management. With respect to the oak it is there but I expect with time it will be absorbed.
