Decanted. Color is dark, opaque ruby garnet lightening towards the edges. Nose of sour cherries, green peppers, camphor, and damp earth. Palate shows some cherries, goes through a green-ness in the midpalate, with green peppers and cabbage, finishes with a balsamic character. Left it sit in the decanter a couple hours, most of the funkiness blew off, leaving a simpler, rounder wine with cherries, raspberries, and little structure.
