Opened and started drinking about 30 minutes later. Dark fruit, black pepper and anise on nose. Texture was extremely mineral/spritzy for first 45 minutes of drinking but entirely dissolved with time. Firm tannins with nice balance and texture. Smoky and pepper notes through finish. Wine was good but nothing I would run back to. I would take Alban, Epoch, or Jaffurs any day over this wine. I would recommend trying again in another couple years.

Heat blew off after an hour in the decanter-good juice.
