  Best with a week or so of air, IMO. Day 7: Open knit compared to classic vintage, but still has a serious quality to the wine. Loads of dark fruit, cherry cordial, mint, a whiff of booze, vanilla, and Peychauds. In the mouth, the wine is full, silty tannins up front, modest acidity, modest booz heat in the fore and back of the mouth- a bit medicinal. Flavors are much more interesting than the nose- more mint, pastis, on top of the already present scents as flavors.

  Opaque with purple plum around the edge. It clings to the glass upon swirling; actually a rather pretty nose, sweet, plums, chocolate, spearmint and liquorice. Very drinkable as well- a kind of oily acidity balances well with the tannins, which are very fine, and layer the mouth; modestly sweet. It seems a little closed but the finish opens out nicely. And I’ve got sticky sweet lips

  Decanted for 2 hours. Very intense. Good stuffing but too early now.
