Two hour decant. Very very deep magenta color (little sign of age). Black cherry, black currant, crunchy peanut butter, subtle mushroom and frankincense on the nose. Smooth and very dry palate, with coarse, pixelated acidity. Soft, but very present tannins on the longish finish.
Rub color nearly to edge; light legs. Red stone fruit and light coffee on the nose. Fig, black cherry, mild spices on the palate. Medium body, medium-plus acidity, long finish. Drinking nicely right now. Paired with grilled NY strip alongside roasted cauliflower with goat cheese spread.
Blackberry fruit, some graphite and cassis notes. The tannins are nearly integrated on the plush smooth finish. The fruit is starting to fade and some heat is starting to creep in. Drink up.

Decanted an hour before eating at MEAT, really soft & supple red.
