Needed about an hour of air. Once opened quite good with dark fruit and pepper minerality on finish which diminished with air.

Such a great value and in a really good place. Opens with a lot of savory notes, leather and olives, and gained a jammy edge with air.

Drinking perfectly now. Clear your cellar really is probably nearing the end of the drinking window.
