As before very dusty on opening, needs 1 hr of air to shake it off. Tannins resolved but still fruit left, drinking now, would not hold for too many years from here.

This bottle still has tons of life! I was skeptical after reading some tasting notes online, but this bottle showed beautifully. A strange funkiness came off this bottle for the first 20–45 minutes. Emerging from that was a wonderfully exciting wine.
Plums, dried cherries, and cocoa on the nose which was absolutely delightful.
On the palate, this was bold but at the same time elegant. Strong earthy notes along with dried red fruit and vanilla.
strong, harsh tannins to start, but after some time, the tannic structure softens. Creating a silky smooth wine that delivered a long lasting finish.

On opening it showed nothing of interest, closed and really dusty on the nose and palate. After 1,5 hrs of decant in wide decanter it started singing. Good balance and super soft tannins with some flowery and vanilla/chocolate notes. Drinking perfectly now, would not hold much longer.
