While it had some bell pepper notes immediately after opening, quickly faded, improved after 2h decanting. If we had another we'd try decanting longer.
Blackberry, licorice, gravel, smooth tannins
Priced appropriately ar slightly high.
Opened at 5yrs, may benefit from more time but wouldn't expect significant improvement.

Would not buy again because of the price point, we feel better value wines can be readily be found from traditional regions.
