Poured from Coravin with aerator. Clear medium garnet. Medium + aromtic intensity. Showed a lot of aromatic evolution in the 20 minutes after pouring, but enticing at all stages. The black cherry and tar remains a constant throughout. Initial early additional elements of pot pourri, vanilla, blackberry and clove give way over time to enticing fresh minty and black pepper notes. On the palate more emphasis on the pepper and tar. Enjoyable. Alcohol medium, acidity medium Shorter finish than I'd like. Ready to drink. Not sure where it will go if left longer as I worry about the relatively short finish.
