So I waited more than a year, and it has definitely evolved but I'm still not loving it. It isn't thin anymore, nor did it have any funk, and so that's a big plus. Wine is fairly balanced as well.
But it is still somewhat vegetative and that overpowers the (more balanced than before) fruit.
I'll wait another year before I try again, but I'm pretty sure that this one just isn't going to get much better.

Day 1: a bit harsh and a little astringent. Tight as can be. Clearly a decade + away from being enjoyable. Day 4: finally opened up a bit. No note taken. Sometime after 2030, 90-92.

USA 2013 tasting by Sander (By SS @ De Ertepeller in Papendrecht): Beautifully ripe dark berries in the bouquet. Same on the palate, some chocolate, good acidity, slightly sticky tannin and a good length. Beautiful and elegant wine.

Black cherry, blueberry, bittersweet chocolate, tobacco. It started singing in the third hour.
