Decanted for 45 minutes. Medium-bodied wine that is dark garnet/ruby in color. On the nose, roasted meat, dark berry fruit, and light smoke. On the palate, tartly acidic black raspberries lead to a decent 20-second finish. This wine was better during the first 2-3 hours after opening. After that, the acidity intensifies and begins to detract from the wine. Started out at 90 points, but had to drop one in the end.
