Light to medium bodied, dark purple. Very nice oaky nose, mushrooms, floral scents, ripe cherry. Alcohol still prominent after decanting for over an hour. Well balanced, muted finish. Overall, nice but not great. 89 pts

1 hour decant (should of decant for longer if possible). Dark brown, light to medium bodies. Lots of oak, high tannins, tight. Definitely have with food. Alcohol on the nose, not very approachable. Black cherry, blackberries, mushrooms. Subtle fruit aromas. Underwhelming finish. Overall, good with food, not a good value for 40-50 bucks. 87pts.

Medium red, full body, very intense, bold, too bitter for my taste. Black cherry, soap, pepper, high tannins, lots of oak. Probably better tomorrow.
