PnP but better with some air -- maybe a 15 minute decant. The color was a medium purple. Lots of dark fruits on the nose which follow on to the medium bodied palate where they are joined by touches of spice and earth. The acidity was a bit soft and although the majority of tannins were resolved, there were still some drying tannins. Overall, this appeared to be a simple wine that should hold for at least a couple of years.

Took 2 hours to open up. Surprised that it was softer than the WA left bank blend after it got going.

Very closed upon opening. Became more approachable after 60 minutes of decanting, though it continued to be underwhelming. 14.5% ABV.

After breathing for a few hours it opened up nicely. Dark red, full bodied, dark fruit flavors, smooth tannins.
