Major mistake was to not decant this for 1.5 hours or more. Started out quite jammy with intense ripe plum and slight hints of madeira. Noticeably tart on the palate as well. After an hour in the glass things mellowed out to a much smoother profile, leather, tobacco, spice, powdery tannins. Will have to crack another bottle and do it properly!
