This wine has years to go before it is mature. The dark fruit and hint of tobacco matched the backbone which was massive. The finish was long but because the wine was still wound tight, it was not as enjoyable as it will be in a few years. If I have to open another bottle before 5 years, I will decant it for a few hours first to see if it can open up, it didn't over the 2 1/2 hour dinner we had this evening.

Needs another 5 years or more as this is a big wine with lots of structure, tannins and good fruit. Chocolate, dark cherry and some tobacco drive this flavor profile. Decanted for 60 mins and it was not enough. Nice wine...
