Upon opening it did not have a lot of flavor. After 4 hours in a decanter it started to show well. At about 7 hours it was showing more complexity and elegance. But I think this is a high pH wine that was meant to be drunk younger. It's good right now but not worth the cost at this point. I don't have any hope it will get better.

Aerated with a Vinturi and decanted for one hour. Nose of black raspberry, currant, mocha, spice and forest floor. Ripe black fruit, mocha, spice and crushed rock on the palate. Finishes with good length and depth. Full bodied. Served with hickory smoked, reverse seared picanha steaks.

Different from previous bottles I have had of this wine. Seemed to be very tannic, even after decanting and Vinturi.
