  No signs of bricking, still a nice deep garnet color. Aromas of cherry, spices and vanilla. The tannins have incorporated well with the fruit, medium body, low acid. Vanilla and oak flavors from the American oak used in aging. Medium finish with little alcohol impact. Tasted at opening, after decant for 1 hour and again after 3 hours. 1 hour was enough to soften the tannins not a lot of difference after 3 hours. Still has 3-5 years of life.

  PnD let air for 3hrs.
  
  Still youthful on the nose with cassis plum vay and coconut with some tertiary notes of tobacco and balsamic.
  
  Dry. Medium alcohol. Medium(+) acidity. Medium(+) tannins. Medium(+) intensity with flavours of plum cherry cassis vanilla rosemary and tobacco.
  
  Lingering grippy finish. Great balance and complexity. Excellent value. Will hold for at least 10 more years.

  Restaurant purchase so no much decant time but still drinking very well. Lots of red fruit, very youthful. I think this will continue to develop but is just fine right now.
