This wine was definitely not drinking well at this time. I would stay away from these for at the very least another year. The tannins have mellowed a bit but all I was getting was overwhelming sweetness and oak. There was still some fruit but it was just masked by the oak. The fruit that did come through was dark ripe fruit. There is a good amount of acidity so I think that with some time this will shine. However, this is a do not touch wine for a while.
