  Structured powerful core. At its best after 4 hrs decanting. Unfortunately won't know what it tastes like in hour 6. Fruit started to unwind (not unravel) around hour 3. Upon opening, some noxious odor but not a lot. Gone by hr4. Upon opening, muted but you could almost see the flower and dried rose petal nose lifting out of the glass. Small green olive in the nose. Not concentrated, but structured to its root - which means you can tell it will open gracefully. Marks of great wine making. Is not a powerhouse. Very balanced. Past optimum window, but the gevery I have could last another 5 yrs based on where this is today. This wine is a surprise. It is very enjoyable to drink. Complex.

  Brilliant medium garnet with hint of brick at edge. Reticent nose barely opens after an hour in the glass. Red fruit, minerals, iron, some vitamin on the nose. Similar palate impression, though the fruit is, thankfully, a little more prominent. Slightly metallic and mineral element to the palate - maybe a little cardboard. The fruit is sweet without being the least bit jammy--it is sweet but lean, which makes it interesting and keeps me coming back to the glass over and over. Alas, a little washed out, as well. Decent finish. I am curious as to how this will develop over the next few hours/day. I can imagine this being pretty yummy with a lighter stew. Not sure how I want to rate this. (86 - 90?).
