Definitely took a while to really open up. Subtle nose of plums, sandalwood, and warm spices. High acidity up front with dusty and gripping tannins, that soften after decanting, with nice dried cherry, toast, and spice towards the finish. Decent on its own, but very good with food. Cellar-worthy bottle for sure.
