My prior note generally applies. Differences being: Grilled meat has been replaced by chocolate, and there is a soft floral note now.
The bitter astringency softens nicely after a good 1 hour decant and the flavors gain strength and clarity.
Day 2 Sadly the lovely flavors have died down a little and the bitterness has returned. Not much structure left either. Still serviceable with food. 3 points lost.
Day 3 Bitterness is gone. Flavors, though still diminished, are more evident for lack of said bitterness. Point added.

Deep inky garnet
Black raspberry, smoke, licorice, barnyard, aged cheese
Blueberry, blackberry, oak, graphite.
A bit flat and hollow on the pallet. Will re assess after decanting. Improved but still lacking.
