This wine evolved, opened up and became quite spectacular over a 3 hour decant and while in my glass. Got the impression this will improve quite a bit with a few more years of aging.

Decanted for 2 hours, consumed over 6 hours. A big if one-dimensional nose of hot and spicy purple and black fruits. not as much flavor punch in the mouth as I was hoping for, and the finish was short and while focused, uninspiring. disappointing. if scoring, 85-87, and not the best stuff from this winemaker.

Similar to earlier notes, though seemed a bit fuller, rounder and softer in the mouth.

Improved with 2 hours of air. I'd drink now through 2017.
