  A little hard to rate. On opening, not very interesting at all. Improved with time on counter (under N2). Got better, but never really compelling. Lasted a long time, weeks.

  Just now beginning to drink well, and likely better in 4-5 years. Decanting would help. With air, elegant dark fruits emerge, nicely framed with minerality & grippy finish.

  Drink up. Simple fruity. Nice with BBQ ribs, but kind of simple.
