  Nose is coming around but tannins are still very present. Took a couple of hours but this is a good wine. I would hold a few more years.

  Should be decanted for sediment if nothing else. Time has done well for this wine. A little funkiness blew off quickly leaving a balanced red fruited and finely spiced wine. Good acidity and integration. Might lack deep complexity but it is quite nice at this stage.

  Shared with a friend over dinner. Finished later in the evening at home.
  
  LOVE the nose on this. Garrigue, potpourri, red licorice, cherry and sandalwood. On the palate a little more fruit driven with blackberry, sour cherry, white pepper, and dried leaves. Fine tannins linger a good 30 seconds in the mouth. Like the taste; LOVE the nose. Overall very enjoyable and pretty much a solid buy every year.

  30 minute decant. Nose of earthy cherry, rose petals, and a hint of spruce. Bright red cherry palate with sandalwood, cherry pit, red licorice, and loads of wet stones and a dollop of chamomile tea. Slate and graphite start the finish with tannins that are marble smooth, adding leather, red plum, and some citrus zest notes on the finale. Excellent.
