Deliciously smooth but now slightly unbalanced with limited fruit

Tasted after a 1 1/2hr decant. Dark ruby in colour with lovely aromas of sweet black fruit, potpourri & chocolate/leather. On the palate, medium bodied sour cherry, dried fruit (blackberries?), raisin/fig, chocolate/tobacco/leather, oak as cedar, high acidity, high soft tannins with a long finish to black pepper & minerality. Still fruit present, but mostly in the dried fruit range. Lots of tertiary flavours with complexity & balance!
Very nicely done, and completely approachable with a medium decant.

Huge potential but way too young yet. Dominated by structure at this point.

Lovely rioja, dense black cherry fruit, a hint of balsam, tannins perfectly integrated. Great now but many years ahead.

2 hour decant thru Rabbit. From Magnum. Somewhat non-descript upon opening. But after some hours it evolved into a big, round, fruity wine. Very little Riojan tobacco or sourness. Really rather delicious. It will no doubt evolve further, but delicious right now.
