Decanting to drink in about an hour (Cab. 80%, Syrah 20%), rich dark garnet color, moderate sediment mostly in the bottle, nose does initially have some grape but very acidity with alcohol at outset, After an hour is still fairly tight and a little tannic without a smooth finish. At 75 minutes, flavor through mouth front to back with good after taste. Softer but still some tannin. Flavor is all about the grapes and oak and not fruity (not a problem), then had meal (filet, parsnip/carrot purée, thinly sliced Brussel sprouts with pancetta & shallot) at 90 minutes - go well together,
