Tasting notes

Dark tight red colour. Sweet nose with hints of oak, dark berries and eucalyptus. Something genuine australian here. Powerful wine in the mouth. Almost violent fruit towards the tongue. Lot of oak. Too much, but also a lot of fruit. Hints of dark berries and eucalyptus. Lacking depth. Some noticable sweetness. Low acids. Some tannins towards the end. Medium length. Perhaps opened too early, but seems out of balance to me.
