Definitely ready to drink; in fact it feels like I waited too long. Whatever acidity was in here seems to have evaporated. What’s left is a big blackberry aroma and flavor, lots of vanilla/oak, and high alcohol content. Improves a little and adds some minor secondary flavors with air. Drink now.

Medium purple beautiful color. Dry nose. Maybe like tobacco or pepper? Smoother once decanted 30 minutes. Tasted mildly acidic, balanced tannins. Are some spicy cheese appetizer and the wine took on smoother dry fruit notes that lasted as long as the food spice. Glad we saved it for so long.

Perfectly balanced. Paired with roasted tenderloin for Christmas dinner. Wish I had another bottle.
