Decant for 1 hour. Very good. Full body, rich, fruity, dark. Lots of vanilla and red fruit mostly cassis. Little leather and licorice. Perfect now. I would not cellar it any longer. It can easily be in the cellar for some years but I would not risk to loose the fruit. the only downside is that it might be a bit jammy.
It smells like raspberry, black currant (cassis), cherry, vanilla and cedar. It tastes like black currant (cassis), cedar and vanilla. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

Opened, decant, and consumed over ten hours. ( I had a long nap in between) Dark, rich burgundy. Full bodied. Lots of cedar notes, very dry, loads of baking spices. Leather, tea, some dark fruit. Wow! Best Hoopes I have ever had. Full bodied wine that tastes like the nose with licorice, plums, some wet wool, and gravel notes thrown in.longish finish. This wine is drinking perfectly. Marginal future improvement in my opinion. Delicious juice and case worthy!
