Monday, August 19, 2019 - decanted 3 hours prior to serving. Overall a bit more muted than expected. Perhaps over-decanted? Got nicer a little later with some fruit, maybe a hint of chocolate, and smoke. Still tannic

My guess is that the tannin will build over the first 2-4 hours and then become more balanced after 6-8 hours. I know it sounds risky but I have done it countless times with younger wines and oxygen resistant Piedmontese.
