  Did not have time to decant, and unfortunately this was not a great experience. the tannins overpowered by far. Guests I shared with were too quick to drink, but next time I will make sure to give this the time it needs.

  Wonderful wine. Highly recommend if you like old world wines. Med body, earthy, forest floor, medium red fruit. Very enjoyable.

  Decanted for 2 hours plus.
  
  Light to medium body, with soft tannins and integrated oak, Cherry, Cranberries with some smoke and Black licorice.
  
  A drink now wine (and within the next 5 years) that is really not meant to be aged for the ages, although quite delicious and refined.
  
  Recommended!

  Note, despite being ready to drink now, it does need to breathe some (when I first opened it and tasted it I didn't like it, but with breathing it was very enjoyable). Pale ruby color. Nice earthy fruity bouquet. On the palate, light to medium bodied with smoky, mineral, earthy, dark fruit flavors. Soft tannins. Nice finish. This is a nice drinker. It drinks well now and it is meant for short term consumption.
  On a separate note, it has such a beautiful label, it reminds me of Ch. Mouton Rothschild artwork labels
