From a half bottle. Brief decant with an aerator. Beautiful ruby in the glass. Raspberries, raspberries, raspberries on the nose with a slight whiff of alcohol. After 30 minutes, nose transitioned into something a bit more smoky. Raspberries on the palate with a medium finish. Tannins very muted at this point, balancing nicely with a bit of acidity. Still fresh. Will sample tomorrow to observe changes.

First impression is the powerful aroma... violets and Concord grape jelly, seriously powerful and intoxicating. The palate is silky, with smooth, resolved tannins, full of dark cherry and licorice. Body is medium. Finish has still some juicy acidity. After the decant, the wine is generous and open, delivering maximum flavor.
Initially paired with a muliticourse menu with truffle risotto and wild boar belly with polenta.
On the second day, plum notes are starting to show up and the acidity starts to slowly fade.
Superb.

This took a while to open up, but once it did it was full, rich and complex, with spicy, dark fruit, slightly sweet, and with good length. A fine bottle.

Drinking well, pnp. Still hints of cherry, bramble, and earth.

Huge open nose, amazing spot right now to drink, still nice structure and tannins but great spice and sweet fruit there and very long!
