Closed at the start. Some dark fruit back there. Coffee, soft tannins; earth on the finish. Opened a bit after a few hours with cherry, a little plum, celery, and definite leather notes. This wine was shut down at the start surprisingly and it was decanted. It's on the graceful decline down, but some interesting notes for sure.

PnP, took about 15-20min in glasses to start showing up details. Had a nose of darker mulled berry fruits, some chocolate and a light earthiness. Nice palate with dark berries, cherry, slight cola, and some coffee perhaps? Finished with a solid but not heavy set of tannins. Very good wine.

Decanted for one hour then drank over an hour or so. Nose of cherries and prunes. Pomegranate, pepper, hint of leather and raspberry. High acidity. Finish with heavier tannins than expected.

Open 1 hour Smells of brooding red fruits, blueberries, strawberries, chocolate, jam, burgundy earth, and the smell after a light rain. Tastes of dark red & purple fruits, pepper, leather, and has a velvety & chewy texture. Full Bodied. Drinking wonderfully.
