Opened and decanted for about 4 hours (poured into decanter and had some errands).
The wine looks Violet colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Blackberry, Black currant (cassis), and Black Pepper. It tastes like Blackberry, Red Currant, Black currant (cassis), Black Pepper, and Oak. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Silky texture. The wine finishes Medium.
Above from tasting assistant. With 4 hour decant, wine is nicely integrated. Silk/satin on tongue, medium finish, not heavy oak or alcohol, a bit of spice with dark fruit flavors.
Nice, enjoyable...
