Decanted to reduce sediment which was essential. This wine needs lots of air! After two to three hours it had mellowed beautifully. Still dark maroon color, black fruit, dark chocolate, toast, funk, and oak, Nicely balanced with tannin and acidity. medium long finish. Drinking beautifully now.

A little funky on opening but it blew off over several hours. This is well integrated, but still a bit hot on the finish. Cocoa, mercury, and a bit of blood over mild dark fruit. I agree with other posts... drink em if you've got em!

This wine has mellowed, but still a bit hot with the high alcohol content. I recommend decanting.
