  Decanted for an hour before sampling. Nose is a bit muted, but dark fruits come to the front in the taste. Some evidence of oak, and the tannins have receded to the back. Full and long finish.

  There appears to have been some controversy about this wine in past reviews. I just opened one to air before pairing with New York steaks tonight. Smells good, tastes good. Tannins pretty much gone, precipitated onto walls of the bottle but enough left to give foundation to the wine. It's still bright, with dark fruits and sweet cassis. It is improving after being open only 20 minutes. Sorry I need to wait for the steaks.
