Deep cloudy red color. Aromas of red fruits, dried plums and coffee grounds. Ripe, sweet, complex fruit in the mouth with very good depth and a long but somewhat bitter finish. After about 15 minutes the bitter quality gradually gave way to sweetness. Very suave and persistent on the palate. Still very youthful.

Decanted for over an hour. The wine was really cloudy. Took a while to settle but never really did completely. Still some sweet fruit. Nose is mostly secondary aromatics now. Time to drink up.

Much more interesting after a couple of hours of air. From a magnum and still lovely.

Still holding up, but lacks freshness and complexity.

Yes, see earlier notes. Slightly better nose, but going downhill.
