84 Points

Thursday, March 16, 2023 - Decanted immediately after opening. Significant amount of precipitate present in the bottle. Obvious hint of VA immediately after opening. After 30 min in decanter the VA is only noticeable in aftertaste. I seem to be very sensitive to VA and it is hard for me to taste through it.
After 2 hours in decanter:
Ruby colour with hints of red brick. VA is gone. It is a nice wine with some acidity left which keeps it fresh. Tannins still verly much present, but pleasant. It is not a remarkable wine. I do not taste much of smokiness, cigar box etc. It seems to be still fruit driven. Pretty long finish.
After 6 hours in decanter:
Very smooth and easy. Hint of prune. Tannins are still there, but are nicely integrated.
