Decanted for 4h. Still shy aromas - barely perceptible blackberries and some brambles. Palate with ripe blackberries and blueberries, grilled meats, olives, a bit of earth and medicinal bark. Full bodied with moderate tannins and good acids. Mildly polished texture. Nice moderate finish of earth, tart, grilled meats, and olives.

Decanted. Took 1.5h after decant to open up. Now 3h after decant. Aromas of crushed blackberries and black cherries, herbs, lots of minerals, black olives, and a bit of bacon fat. Palate w deep blackberries, red cherries, earth, minerals, iron, olives. Excellent concentration and nice depth. Nice acids lift the wine. Moderately long finish. Nicely done.

Drinks like a baby Cote Rotie, as advertised. Check in a year.
