A solid offering. Quite a bit of sediment coats the bottle. Smoke, licorice and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Not at its best on the mid plate. Just slightly thin. Long finish of dark fruit and black pepper. Good food wine. Well balanced.

Decanted due to sediment. Plum and a bit of baking spice on the nose. Smooth dark berry fruit on the palate - an acidic cranberry type note lingers. A straightforward wine that is very-well structured. There's still enough acidity for another year at least, but there's no need to wait - very enjoyable at the moment.

An old world style. In a great place right now. Give it 30 minutes of air.

Similar notes as my1/13/14 notes, but opened up without decanting.
