Generally lean and still tannic. Some red berry on the nose cut with a disjointed but not unpleasant note of forest mushroom. Not a lot of complexity overall. May benefit from another 5 years of aging.

Popped and poured. A bit closed at first, then opened to anise on the nose, and an extended if subdued finish. Fruit seems to have subsided, but the balanced acidity has maintained overall freshness. I think fine to drink now. It may have time left, but does not feel like anything additional going to show with more time.

Opened without decanting. Nice red berry notes on the nose. Elderberry preserves and baking spices on the palate. Some decent structure that keeps the wine from being overly candied. Medium finish.
