This is a big, corpulent, chunky wine without much botrytis, but plenty of flesh and a muscular, heady alcohol content. The wine drinks beautifully now because of the forward, lush fruit married with copious amounts of smoky, toasty new oak. The good acidity gives the wine freshness. While I am sure this wine will evolve nicely, I do not expect to ever encounter a great deal of complexity.
