Pop and pour into a decanter, which wasn't fair - there was clearly enough stuffing here to merit longer airtime. In the glass, a clear pink meniscus, turning immediately to a dark, opaque magenta/black core. On the nose, an intriguing mix of blackberries and violets. On the palate, raspberries, citrus, violets, and peach, followed on the mid-palate by a firm wall of tannins that shut down the finish. All in all, my bad - if I had another bottle, I'd wait at least another five years.

Decanted an hour and drank over the next 2.5. Silky as usual for Sanguis. This is a dark, brooding blend with more subtlety than punch. Enjoyable on a quiet night.

Took about an hour to open up. Aromatic and smooth.

Drank over two days. A cornucopia of bright fruit flavors with nice acid balance. This is Sanguis's cheapest red and it's a lot of fun.
