Very tight when straight from the bottle. After an hour decant, the heat was gone and grainy tannin had softened - but not diffused - but no other hidden notes appeared. Perhaps not my style but I expected more. Drinking window 2027+ to give this its best shot at integration in the bottle.

84 - above average wine displaying various degrees of finesse with no noticeable flaws.

Fine tannin and showing good fruit. Felt a little tight straight out of the bottle.
