Decanted for 4 hours. Still very tight. Black fruit and oak on the nose. Palate was very oaky and it was not expressing fruit at all. Even in a 375ml format, it would take 10 years to show something. 89 tonight.

375ml bottle. Nose was very subdued and hence was disappointing - it smelled a bit yeasty and alcoholic at first before giving way to some red fruit.
Palate was better, at first quite tannic but in a smooth way, then becoming even smoother. Finish was rather short though, again a bit disappointing.
