Dark garnet with evident bricking at the edge, much of the fruit has gone. Decanted to desedimentize and drank over the course of three hours. Upon opening, the nose was rich and full althought some of this delight wore off. Tannins were heavy and as much as I'd hoped, the fruit never came through as nicely as the nose might have suggested. I would highly advise drinking this soon as it seems to be nearing the end of the peak drinking window.
