Currant, cassis, cocoa, vanilla, spice and florals. Mouthfeel was delicate and slightly acidic. Good wine, but didn't blow me away given the high price tag.

Decanted for 3 hours and still had a very perceivable barnyard funk. Subsided at about the 5-hour mark. Notes of crushed blackberry, sage, baking spice, and cedar. High acidity, high minerality. Mouthfeel was good. Tough to get past the barnyard though. Reminded me of the Havens reds from the early 2000s that were a fraction of the cost of this even accounting for inflation. Try second bottle in 2+ years.
