  Second drinking. Slightly less time/oxygen breathing (smaller decanter, but still solid hours of breathing).
  
  More prominent spice right up until the finish. Finish is a bit more graphite than ironwood, likely to settle a bit as it finishes breathing.
  
  Cries out to pair with a somewhat greasy turkey burger. The spice and full-bodied flavor will cut through that and balance perfectly, while the fruit and finish will compliment. Put some smoked gouda or other smokey cheese on the burger and it'll be perfection.

  Needs time to decant.
  
  The nose is dense and hard to decipher, but not strong or overpowering. Pleasant at first, as it breathes a round undercurrent of fruit underpin the still-dense nose.
  
  The main palate is full of dried fruit with a touch of nutmeg. Almost like Christmas cake and cassis underpinning classic Napa fruit structure. As it lingers in the mouth, the fruit subsides but the structure holds firm and pleasant including the cassis. A woody feeling from the tannins becomes dominant and fades into a darker cherry or cherry-pit flavor. It ends in a beautiful ironwood resolution. The finish isn't long, but very appealing.

  Dense garnet in color, intense raspberry, cherry and a touch of cedar on the nose. This is a big wine, mouth filling and rich flavors with a bit of smoke. Smooth yet complex. Blueberry and cassis, velvety on the palate. The fruit drops off on the palate, leaving a light touch of licorice and a tobacco finish.
