A confused wine. Color is dark purple. The nose is closed and subdued, almost flat. Alcohol is out of balance. The palate is like a spittoon at the end of a tasting. An astringent sour (non-acidic driven) note on the finish. Avoid.

Four hour decant. Very deep ruby magenta color. Chocolate shavings, black currant, blue raspberry icee, and subtle leather on the somewhat brooding nose. Cinnamon graham cracker developed after an additional hour. Grippy, satiny, tongue drying palate. Very firm tannins on the longish finish.
This is good, but needs another year or a 12 hour decant to reach its potential. It continued to improve over two hours of drinking.

One hour decant (2-3 h is more advisable). Very very deep color (more ruby than magenta). Cherry lollipop, violet perfume, caramel-filled dark chocolate, and cassis, along with subtle tar and raw coconut, on the nose. Smooth, tongue drying palate, with modestly cottony acidity. Full tannins on the longish finish. This is just at the front end of its good drinking window.
