Dark red, a bit tight on opening, decanted 1 hour. Aged red fruit, cherry, earth, bit of herb, light oak, a bit hot on palate, perhaps due to 14.5%. Opened up during course of meal. Overall smooth and enjoyable with food especially as tannin edge eased up. Maybe deserves a point or two more, but I felt the fruit was a bit overwhelmed.
