Coravin pour. Color is deep deep purple. Decanted in glass for 2 1/2 hours. Nose is gushing and wonderful! On palate: really good fruit but just mouth drying tannins at this point in it's evolution. Also very hot! Masks the palate. Needs more time!! Years and years? 91
Edit: Did another Coravin pour the next day and let it sit for about 6 hours. Tannins resolved nicely and much more pleasant. Upp'd my 91 score to 92

I really can’t add more than what others have said but I will echo giving this time… and then some. If drinking now give this at least a 24 hour decant as this was still tight on day 2, but much softer comparatively to day 1.

took 24 hours to open. Poured a half glass, extremely tight and closed, vacuum sealed. Next day was much better
