Savory and earthy with a little leather and undergrowth. There is some perfume, but a bit funky ? dirty barrels? . There is iron, and earrthiness, but overall I wonder if a culprit of elevage. I don; think it's closed, just maybe not a great bottle of wine. Very good. 89 pts

PnP. BN fill. Initiall impression of leather, tar, and decaying dark red and black fruit. Medium-bodied palate started out hollow with harsh tannins on the lengthy finish. Mellowed out significantly with air, but never evolved to anything great. I'd drink soon, as I feel the tannins will outlive the fruit.
