Nose: fresh herbs, vanilla, whiff of cedar. Opened late initially, so a bit cold. Update: 3 hours after opened and decanted: raspberry, mint, wood. Opened up beautifully.
Taste: licorice, cherry, good firm tannins, very bold/strong flavours. Herbaceous. Definitely open the next bottle not for a few years.

Decanted for 3 hours. Nose: closed. Definitely a Bordeaux nose, but very subtle. Taste: still quite a bit of tannin, would want to wait a few years for the next bottle. Some tobacco flavours . Had with pork chops, asparagus, and yams (with blue cheese)
