Decanted for an hour. Pre-decanting, it was bland initially but tannic towards the end with notes of oak, blackberries and chocolates. After an hour, flavors were slightly milder but the initial strong alcohol was still present. Was shocked that it is 14.5%.
Overall a pleasant wine for someone who prefers full bodied wines. Goes well with oily food, especially chinese.
