Wine opened up after a day-- actually, like lasagna, this wine got better. At first, big spice, oaky/cedar, spicy, dark berry nose. Inky hue. Full bodied, dark berry wine, tight at first. After a day, the wine opened up and was easier to drink. Enjoyable with or without food. Time to drink.

First pour was straight out of the bottle, strong black currant on the nose and taste. After running the wine through the decanter the tannins soften up but on the down side less spice.
