Wow, this drank really well. Black fruit was in abundance, licorice, spice, black currant, and earthy tones. Very balanced, aged beautifully and drinking quite well at the moment, with a nice sweet jammy-ness and a lengthy finish. Opened two hours prior to drinking, no decant, lots of sediment by the last glass.

Six hour decant. Very deep dark magenta color. Cola, black currant, jasmine, and Black Forest cake on the reserved nose, along with subtle coffee and prune. Smooth, cottony palate, with a beam of dark chocolate. Firm, but somewhat low intensity tannins on the on the medium long finish. Probably didn’t need such a long decant, but is likely starting to fade for my palate even with ideal prep.

Eleven hour decant. Nearly opaque magenta color. Floral nose (rose petals), with fig, red apple and dark fruit notes. Super smooth palate with lingering acidity. Soft, full tannins on the long finish.

Nice bottle of wine. A little tight out of the bottle, but found its way. Tannins are still heavy so would expect another couple years to soften.
