2/9/19: Coravin 1/3 bottle. Decanted for 1 hour. This needs air. Decanting for several hours would have been okay. Light nose of red/black fruits and spice. Flavors of red fruits, black fruits, spice, with decent acidity, fine tannins, maybe a touch of alcohol, and a moderate finish. Seems like this will go several years more, maybe with a bit of upside. 5/2/19: Same bottle. Removed cork. Nose and flavors of raisins; completely shot due to Coravin effect.

Bk to deep purple edge. 2 Hour decant. Dk. Blk fruit on the nose, somewhat subdued. Plum and blk fruit with good structure and tannin. Lingering finish. I see why they blend this with Zin. Drink or hold.

Drank with Mexican food. Lots of blue fruit. Held up much better than expected.
