I second agelvis's note. This is ready to business with a quick decant, and is drinking very well now. I've always loved Carter's Fortuna bottling so this is no surprise. Paired well with tri-tip steak.

One hour decant. Deep dark purplish magenta color. Chocolate toffee brittle, cassis, black cherry, and graphite. Dry, plush palate, with wonderful glide. Firm tannins on the longish finish.
100% CS that is mostly Fortuna fruit, with a little To Kalon. Mark Carter was doing the pouring for #1WineLover and I. Very cool.

Sweet red and black currant, caramel, a bit too sweet, small sips only.
