Still tight after opening, even short decanted. Nevertheless, fairly balanced dark fruit, heat, and backbone, with long finish that had vegetal hints. Day 2: tightness gone; plush and full; fruit and spice balanced, more heat on finish. 93 is day 2 wine. Would decant for at least 4-6 hours otherwise.

A lot of cherry, less pepper; mid-range mouth feel;not much complexity. Perfectly fine for midweek dinner, but would not hold longer.
