Decanted one hour. Nose of alcohol,rubber and tar. This wine was off from the start. Full bodied, smooth mouthfeel, but dark fruit flavors are overripe, or overcooked(?),and bitter. After three hours, some decent tannins on the finish but overall, still not very pleasurable and I dont see this wine ageing very well.

Better on day 2. Vegetal, a bit tannic and heavy essence of alcohol for it's weight. Forgettable, especially for the price
