Whoa this is drinking fantastic at this time. Please give it an hour or so decanting to let the woody aroma dissipate. Then pour yourself a nice sized glass of this beauty. Boysenberry, lavender, camphor and spring flowers explode in the nose. Middle weight in the mouth, toasty French oak, chocolate, tobacco and cherry highlight the finish. Yum!
Splash decanted off small amount of sediment. Cassis and blackcurrant, some earthy tobacco. Comes off a bit rustic, medium+ acid and chewy tannins. Drinking well now but no rush.
