MMCDDS expressed it perfectly - lacy red fruits with sour bois undertones. Balanced, the wood giving a toich of funk, this wine is very pretty after an hours air. A candidate for decanting.
I would declare the drinking window open.
Pork schnitzel, arugula salad

Perfect showing. Medium weight. Dark cherry fruits balancing with a touch of spice and medium fine tannins.
Magic with a pasta carbonara.

Opens to a deeply raisined, madder funk. But more mushroom than corruption. The color is tawny, like a port. The initial mouth was restrained, but not bad. So, I decanted the bottle and let it sit.
Over an hour the wine opened with dry fruits, think orange peel and tea, and fine tannins. Ultimately, I like a fresher wine but this old soldier gave a credible showing. I have Two more bottles from my mother in laws house, will report back.
Btw, cork broke. Use a Durand.
