This was disappointing. I am hoping that it is just tight and closed now and will open in the near future. It was decanted for 1 hour. Clear, dark cherry color. Light nose. Light body. There is flavor but not much fruit is evident. It finishes tannic and flat.
I will try it again on the second day. I hope the remaining 2 bottles improve with some more time in the cellar.
Day2: As I hoped this was much improved on the second day, and even the third. The texture had smoothed out and the flavor warmed. It still finishes tanic but I now have hope that that it will improve with some time in the cellar.

This wine is coming into its own. It was still fresh and could probably go a few more years of cellaring.
