Extremely drinkable and shouldn't wait for the right occasion. Didn't decant but could probably use one. Liquid is almost black in color, blackberry on the nose, mild tannins and shorter finish. Highish in alcohol but not offensive. Would drink many times in a year.

A little hot on the nose. Dark fruit, toasted oak. Smells like a barrel sample. On the palate it is medium weight with med+ tannin and a short grainy finish. This needs some air to open up. Not bad given the vintage. I do not detect smokey qualities at this point.
