  So much going on here. Decanted for an hour, should've done longer. Nose is tight but dense with black currant, truffle, leather, cigar, prune, kalamata olive and cedar jumping from the glass. Tastes massive despite being a little closed, a pleasant marriage of dark fruit and all of the above aromatics with broad, chewy tannins. Finishes long, with lingering notes of chocolate and pipe tobacco. Great now, but will definitely benefit from a few years of cellaring.
