Dark, inky and opaque in the glass. Closed initially, but opened with 6 hours in decanter. Lots of coffee, tar, menthol and tobacco initially, but the fruit took some time to show. Tannins also took some time to soften, which became fine and silky. Full-bodied and complex. Finish was well over 1 minute. I really loved the way this wine evolved and highly recommend!

I agree with other comments, that this is delicious now, but probably needs another few years to really hit the perfection mark!
