The bottle had been properly stored; color was a deep inky purple with no bricking. This wine was pepper and spice. It seemed a little "hot" or tannic. An hour later, it had softened considerably. I was disappointed in the wine; while realizing that it was a couple of years past it's tasting window. A l;ittle fruit came out after an hour of decanting.
