1 hour decant, 57 F. Deep ruby color. Might be drinking it a bit too young, maybe better in 5 years? Or maybe not... Nose dominated by dried cocoa, with menthol and raisin. Pleasant acidity, medium-to-full bodied with no noticeable heat and slightly velvety tannins. Dried plums on the palate, with overly assertive vanilla and spicy oak notes. Medium-length finish with a bit of grip. Okay wine, but nothing special.

I agree with what others have said. It is fine but nothing special. Very tight and needs to decant for a while. Strong on the raisin flavor and notes.
Update: the more I drink it, the less I like it. It is very tight even after an hour. Maybe it is too early to drink. I am not sure.
