Ripe fruit nose. Smoke and tobacco are now the dominant notes with tart fruit. Softer than the previous tasting. Enjoyable now, I doubt it will get much better from here.

Barnyard nose. Medium density with prominent acidity. On the rustic side, but good. Not a whole lot of tannin but the acid should allow it to keep. Some time might take the edges off.

Nice nose of red fruits and earth, red berries and a bit tart (not to my liking) light to medium body and good acid. Just a bit to tart for me but not a bad wine.
Update: after an hour or so of air this wine really came around. Tartness went away and the meaty olivey goodness came out. Give this wine some time in the decanter,
