  Notes of red plum and raspberry. Surprisingly smooth tannins after a 4-hr decant; very approachable.

  After 4+ hours in decanter:
  Beautiful nose of creme de cassis, blackberry jam, cacao nibs and toasty oak. Full-bodied, this is thick and textured with loads of high quality tannins and an oyster shell minerality on the finish. Loaded with creosote, black currant, black cherry, cedar and spice flavors. Just excellent, this needs several years to come around. I'll likely wait until it is 12 before opening another. Drink 2030-2038 95+

  Fruity but not a fruit bomb. Good concentration.

  The fruit and tannins are all present and correct, but it needs time to come together. In my Zalto Bordeaux glass this was pretty hot and the alcohol really dominated the nose. Didnt have this issue from the smaller Gabriel Glas or an estate series red wine glass from Williams Sonoma, though. Still - hoping that will balance out over time.
