WOTN after a long day of tasting. This was decanted for 4 hours and benefitted from it. Really harmonious showing. I found the fruit profile a bit darker with notes of plum reduction, fig, even a little raisin, with some secondary mocha and coffee notes. The acidity is holding up nicely and gives the impression of more red fruit. Tannins are velvety smooth at this point and the wine was totally in balance. A treat

Same notes as before. No real sense of character or place. Just chocolate covered cherry and prune syrup laced with clove cigarette smoke. Fades fast to sour after a couple hours. Undrinkable night 2. Like drinking mulled wine.

Not a fruit bomb but a spice bomb. Tasty but clunky and dominated clove, tobacco, and creamy chocolate cherry. Decanted a couple hours and better at about 30 min.
