  Been a minute since my last bottle and this has improved somewhat. Still a food pairing wine IMHO (Chinese steamed pork buns tonight).
  
  Everything is much more balanced. Nose like red licorice.
  
  Has aged nicely. Notes of iodine, some pencil lead and leather. All tertiary notes. Who knows? This may pick up another point over the coming two years

  Opened, decanted thirty minutes, and poured cool. Good advice from Brock.
  Rusty Garnet in color. Medium plus in body.
  Green vegetable notes, some fruit leather. Tobacco and Chinese black tea.
  Thick, unctuous, grippy. Still remnants of dark fruit present. Medium plus finish. Not a bad wine at all, but finicky. The longer the decant the more that is lost with this wine.
