very accessible and tasty atm even on pnp with a vigorous decant. medium acid, low+ unobtrusive plum skin tannin, and medium body/texture that fleshes out with air
fragrant and quite vibrant with charred plum, some pretty oak gloss, tobacco and so much olive/tar it leans rhone on the nose.
packed with concentrated flavors that lean of savory.
not at all regretting opening this early

lovely wine. we did an experiment based on your notes via blind tasting and had the wine split into two .. one part decanted and the other kept in open bottle ; 3 hours in folks thought we offered two different wines ..and clearly preferred the decanted version. The "bottled" part was considered too young
