slow ox for 1 hour. explosive nose of tobacco, cigar smoke, wet rose, plum, and dried cherry out of the gate. palate still well acidic and somewhat tannic. darker fruit flavors softened significantly up over the next hour with air and veered toward the sour cherry side. lost a lot of intensity on the nose, too. overall good but started a little too hard and ended a little too soft. maybe a happier medium will manifest with more bottle time?
