  Gave it a few hours as my prior note rec'd. Good but little tight and a tad too acidic. Like last time I poured the leftover (approx 40%) wine from the decanter into the bottle and left it in the cellar. 2 days later, amazing. Such pure black cherry flavors with a fresh bouquet of a nose. If it was like this from the getgo there would not have been anything leftover. Score based on later tastings.
  
  Next time, give it 4-5 hours of air.

  Very forward, lots of heavy mouthful, more like a Rhone.

  Excellent wine, seems more like a Napa wine than a Bordeaux.

  PNP'd. Starts off very primary and tannic, but with a couple hours of air in the glass, nose and palate open up to much more, and tannins soften. Left about 1/2 bottle in the cellar and forgot about it for a few days. First glass was absolutely delicious with a very nice balance of earthy smells and ripe black cherry with quite the soft mouthfeel. Second glass losing some of that balance as the fruit faded slightly.
  
  Next bottle def allow at least a few hours in the decanter.
