3rd bottle we tried of this and the additional time as noted below made all the difference. Not much to add to the note below. Quite a modern style however which I found appealing. A touch of not unpleasant greenness almost mint.

this bottle now really showed the difference, if you have time to wait, until the wine can show its real potential. opened and let it get air for more than 1 hour. great dark view in the glass and very dense. smell is fruity and strong, but not stringent. on the palate it shows strength, fruit, some chocolate and cacao, some cherry as well. long finish.
I really like this wine and will enjoy the remaining ones over the next 5-10 years. this wine has potential!

dark and dense, berries on the nose.
after decanting 1,5 hours it still was not ready and tasted strong and alcoholic.
maybe needs some more years

Full of flavor, round, full body, great palate. Opened 2 hours before we drank and that helped a lot
