Double decanted: bricking reddish purple; subtle floral nose; fine tannins, remarkably well integrated, almost soft; plush fruit, accented with a rack of spices (cloves, anise, white pepper). 17 Also tasted a ‘non decanted’ version at the same tasting; same color; restrained nose; angular tannins, much less integrated (if tasted blind, most would have assumed it to be a completely different wine).
