Decanted for about 2 hours. Dark, little bottle age showing. Still tight and tannic. A lot of fruit but tight. Needs more time

Delicate, medium ruby.Austere and oak dominant but quite pleasant. Loads of chocolate, leather, vanilla, cedar, baking spices and cherries jubilee. Even some cream soda.Powerful, textural Grainy tannins, persistent acidity.Flavours match the nose, with powerful oak dominating. Flavours are lovely on the attack and seem to expand in the mouth through a long finish. Delicious.
Full bodied, but the pronounced acidity delivers a bit more freshness in comparison with my previous bottle.
A bit too one-sized towards power. Lacks depth to keep things interesting

A little bit less appealing with a lack of elegance.
