Powerful. through the evening, it softened, mellowed, and displayed wonderful balance, and a great finish. teasingly soft and supple, with hints of leather and cloves, but warm, soft cherries and black currants added to a very round experience. at the end of the glass, perhaps 3 hours after opening and decanting, it was still robust, yet grand and elegant.
