Opened for 1.5 hrs. Nose: Medium nose intensity with notes of cedar, toasted wood, coffee, dark fruit. P: Tannins are still smoothen but still felt, med acidity, decent fruits. Felt phenolic heat when it warmed up, had to chill slightly to enhance enjoyment of fruits.
Enjoyed nose more than palate.

Stewed red fruits, plum like nose. Fully integrated tannins, still has decent acidity, medium bodied. Notes from memory.
