Opened 9.30 in the morning: almost black, opaque; austére, no nose, nothing. Decanted. After 1 h some nose, acidic, that's all. After 4 h some nose reminiscent of cab, acidic, some faint fruit. After 8-9-10 h decant it has come to live. Not much fruit, mostly tertiary.....See previous notes for what this wine is when it has come to live..... so lots of air needed.

This really is a beauty. A rather full body and a bitter note on the end. Some air makes is softer, more complex. But it is just what you prefer. Big VfM.
