OK, so I forgot about this thread and bought the wine, but I did come and do a search before opening, so I knew I had to give it some breathing time. Decanted and let it set for about 1.5 hours while we had appetizers and and lovely bottle from is-wine (see the Italian thread), and I grillpanned strip steaks and made very good (if I may so so) pan sauce.

The wine was a bruiser, alright, all oak and alcohol. Some at our dinner party were impressed by the sheer size of the wine, but no one was taken with it. We didn't even finish the bottle (the 6 of us!), and some said they felt the steak was overwhelmed by it. I agree--the sweet vanilla sawdust in this wine dominates everything. Disappointing.
