Very dark color, with little sign of age. Savory nose, showing white pepper, plum compote, a touch of tar. Smooth and a little cooked on the palate, with some heat. Finishes well, low grip, near-zero tannins. OK overall.

One year later, and quite an evolution. Medium garnet with a touch of rust. Nice nose of cherries, spices, pencil. Medium-bodied on the palate, with red fruit flavors and licorice notes in an approachable texture. Finishes with cherry syrup and smoke tones over very low tannins. Pleasant. Still good.

Decanted 1 hr. ahead. Very deep ruby, with a bit of blue. Nice nose of black cherry and coffee, with background notes of earth and matchstick. Full-bodied on the palate, with dark flavors leading. Acid balance is firm, neither tart nor soft. Finishes well, with wisp of tannins. A rich bottle that has great QPR. Enjoyably rough-edged.
