Gave this 2 round trips through an aerating decanter and this continued to open up over the course of the evening. Overall outstanding bottle. On the full-body (e.g. Moulin a Vent) side of Beaujolais, this had great flavors and excellent balance. A couple more years in the cellar would be best - or enjoy now with plenty of air.

Nose is dark fruit, leather, stone basement, leather, maybe a hint of oak. Oh boy this has _grip_ it almost goes immediately away from the fruit, straight to tannin-town, my mouth is dry. Good acidity, super brambly dark fruit. My guess is this would be way better in 5y. And/or with food.

Big, bold, meaty! Went well with cheeseboard. Long length and plenty of life in this
