Opened only 30 minutes prior to tasting with no decanting. Prominent black cherry nose. Jammy black cherry and plum with pepper in background. After 1 hour really smoothed out and developed nice mid-palate.

Opened 4 hours prior to tasting with no decanting. Light red fruit, spicebox nose. Light red fruit with little finish, low tannins, pleasant but not complex. After 2 hours, developed excellent mid-palate finish, hints of plum, slight acidity, low tannins and was very nice.

Opened only 1 hour before tasting with no decanting. Tobacco-earth with low black fruit nose. Deep black cherry, licorice and tobacco. Pleasant but lacks complexity expected.
