Decanted to find small to medium amount of sediment, sludge. Drank over 2 days - very nice both days. Medium body, short finish. Not overly fruit/sweet. Good zin but not too multidimensional.

Not as good as the '10 Duarte I had last week, this was bigger, more masculine with slight baked notes of cracked pepper, raspberry and a bit of tannin and acidity for balance.

2nd day, after spending the night with a vacuum stopper. It's a bit duller. Still some light pepper, some cassis, some tea. Spice on the finish. The mouthfeel seems like something's missing though - it's flattened a bit overnight. Was more interesting yesterday.

Pepper, slightly cooked fruit, a bit of tannin and pepper on the finish. Maybe a bit of cooked or oxidized fruit.
