Though I have never had this particular wine before, I'm thinking it is in decline - past its peak. It was described as inky, but as you can see it is verging on a brick red.
On the nose it reminded me of Autumn, oak and ripe plummy jam. One the Palate the oak tannins stood out, to me. There were decent grape tannins as well, just more oak notes. Acidity wise it was medium. Enough to go well with harder cheeses but I would not do anything "stinky".
A nice wine to go with pizza or just for a glass (or 2) after work. But don't hold onto it, drink it now.
