  Very earthy, clay, rust, brown sauce, with plum, black cherry skin, cassis, tobacco, etc. Nice balance, showing youthful, quite tannic, in great shape.

  Opened with 1.5 hours air , seems a bit thin and young , felt like there could be something more underneath here. Will try the 2nd half of the bottle tomorrow night.

  1.5 hr decant. When I first opened this to decant it the bouquet out of the bottle was so decadent and complicated I thought it would need no decanting at all. However, it does: that first heady blast played a game of hide and seek all evening. Huge black cherry and some very dark chocolate dominate the palate. The scents include blackberry, pipe tobacco smoke, maybe some cedar? For all the bigness the wine is not at all overbearing. I think it is still on the ascent. Tannins are softening but not fully integrated yet. Good acidity; there is nothing flabby here.
  Score: 95. Relative to expectations: ++
