Monday, December 22, 2014 - Not decanted, consumed over ~3 hours. This took some time to open up; at first, it was a bit dilute and ungiving, although I did note a promising finish. Over time, it gradually started to show lean dark berry/black currant fruit and pleasant dusty oak/cedar notes alongside tart acidity and subtle tannins. Just on the full side of medium-bodied.
A decent bottle, but somehow it didn't really push any buttons for me either alongside food or on its own. Hopefully future bottles will be more expressive.
