Was very excited to open this bottle. Poured one glass upon decanting. The color goes from a warm brown/orange around the edges to a beautiful violet. Quite a strong nose upon opening. Hints of dried red fruit, plums, leather and iron. Palate: soft tannins, well balanced, complex, cassis, medium long finish. Opened up beautifully after 30 minutes to an hour. Top notch!
