Plenty of oak is draped on this wine. The bouquet is led by sawmill-like aromas and black cherry, while the woodspice and resiny flavors are every bit as dominant if not more so than the cassis, cherry and strawberry notes that seem secondary. A healthy, sturdy structure helps it out, but it’s probably a little too oaky for its own good.——M.S.(7/1/2008)—— 86
