This is pretty oaky stuff, loaded with toast and cedar aromas, but still showing some lush blueberry fruit underneath. It’s a wine that’s fleshed out by supple tannins, moderately high alcohol and drenched in eau de fut neuf, yet finds a precarious balance among those items. Probably best to drink now.——J.C.(9/1/2009)—— 88
