Compared with the other bottle, this one decanted a while longer first. Maybe it was just a different mood but this seemed like a totally different wine. A complex nose of earth, leather and soot, not revealing what fruit lies within. On the palate, raisin, tarragon, roses and finishing with graphite and tobacco. Really finding this wine to be complicated and willing to challenge the palate. I can imagine the care that went into crafting it.
