Decanted for 1hr before a lunch gathering. Deep garnet color. Blackberries, plums, cedar, tobacco, herbs, and spice. I thought the wine lacked a bit of liveliness and was overall an enjoyable experience but nothing special. I thought it lacked a bit of concentration.

Decanted for 1h. Cedar nose. Very plush vibrant berries and bright cherries on the palate. Drinking nicely now. So far my WOTN.
