Nose of lavender ,green and purple plums, baked cake, lots of deep bass notes. Some confectioners sugar wafting. It does have a lift from the acidity . Alcohol is more noticeable ingested than on the nose. No sign of decline , and a good wine for this style. Reminds me a lot of my earlier wine exploration days.

initially too dusty and woodsy. Half an hour after decanting the dusty notes starts to fade and became really sweet. Still going strong almost 2 hours in the decanter, sweet almost like honeydew melon, but still got good acidity and fragrant, woodsy notes. Still going 3 hours later with some smoky notes added.

BBQ and Wine (Chez Whitehead - Northbrook IL): Clearly riper styled but nicely dense and able to maintain enough balance to be charming and elegant. Best to enjoy near-term.
