Popped and poured, pleasant at the outset and naturally softened in the glass. Started with dark fruit and spice indicative of a zin, went nicely with grilled ribeye with blue cheese butter; after 2 hours tobacco-tinged fruit is coming to life on the nose, nice cab astringency mid-palate with pleasantly tight finish. Next time will decant 1-2 hours, if not more.
