This was wound pretty tight and backward right now. A lot of umami and mushroom and some fruit, but not very generous. Decanting and breathing was not very helpful either. Will wait several years before I touch another one.

Pretty classic balance of cassis and oak. Very good but not remarkable. Improved with air.

Awkward upon opening, improved over a few hours and became very smooth and rich by the next day.
