This bottle showed much better than the last one in December. This time decanted for 4 hours. Was bold, taut, and intense. Last bottle was more flabby. Bottle variation I guess.

On PnP, the nose had lot of heat and menthol notes. Palate was muted and primary with black/blue fruits, medium tannins and low acid. Drank half the bottle and vacu-vin the rest Day 1 score 86. On day 3, this become more interesting, with licorice, anise, earth, bacon/smoked meats, and blue fruits. I would hold this for another few years or give it lots of air.
