You could tell much better wine was in the bottle, but it just did not develop over the hour it was consumed. Perhaps a 2-3 hour decant would have worked. Saving the other bottles for many more moons

Smell of dried tobacco, leather, and just a whiff of fresh ink Mouth feel is dry and medium weight Flavors of cocoa powder and unsweetened wild berries Aftertaste dusty, tannic, acidic, and long This is a serious, intriguing wine.

Excellent wine. Showing wonderful character now. Hoping this will age nicely, as I have 3 more bottles.
