Brick red. Vinous nose of cherry and talc with hints of licorice. Similar profile on the palate with some spice and faint tarry notes. Unexpectedly feminine at first, but fleshed out and grew muscular over a couple hours. Maybe a hint of VA but otherwise a nice surprise.

I was concerned about this bottle being that it wasn't from a very good vintage. Decanted about .5 hours prior to drinking. It was good but was missing some notes and fruit. It started to develop, I think, just when we were finishing off the bottle.
