Opened from the cellar, decanted 90 mins. Muted fruits and olives on the nose, with beautiful mid-palate of olive, rose, thyme, rosemary, dark bramble fruits, followed by a velvety finish with a surprising tannins. Looking forward to opening the last bottle in the next year.

(45 minute decant) A lot of spice on the nose, particularly cloves. Less so on the palate, which was rounded out with some black olive and meaty flavors. Long finished with a little tannins remaining; could probably age at least another year.

Drank a while back after a short (~30 min) decant. Very enjoyable and I recall tapenade notes of herbs and olives.

(B+) Initially tart fruit and a bit of pencil lead. Evolved to be a bit more rounded, with a bit of fattyness and flowers. Still tight.
