Still holding its own and accessible for only needing a modest decant. It didn't develop much in the decanter. That said, drink up as this doesn't feel like it has the legs to run long.

Decanted half the bottle the first night and was perfectly pleasant but a bit one-dimensional. The second half (undecanted, left in bottle with cork) did seem to have opened up a bit the next night. Give this a long decant or a bit more time. 87-90 points seems right, i.e. a tiny bit disappointing.

Nice colour. Cherry nose, slight spice- Clive, cinnamon.some earthiness and mint, rose petal. Silky mouthfeel, some lean tannin and a bit of powder. Red fruit palate, gamey, cherry and strawberry. Very dry. Great.

Floral nose. Tea-leaves, moist tobacco, and dark red fruit. Palate has tobacco, cherry, leather and hints of tar. Dry.
