In a word, manipulated.
So much vanilla u would think mom was making cookies. Oaked. Super smooth and overripe, and all that in an 06!?
Cinnamon, choclate, spice, plums. Supple mouthfeel, coating. Dead finish. Overripe. Lots of vanilla, some oak.

To start off, with my nose inside the glass I got a strong smell of alcohol (I know, it's wine). I just thought it was a little too much.
Once I took a few sips it seemed pretty well balanced. The one taste I could pull out was cherry. It wasn't too sweet, and it had a pretty good finish. I would buy this again, but I'd try to get it for slightly cheaper.
