Somm suggested double decanting because her last bottle had “funk”.
This bottle did not demonstrate any funk.
As expected , air was needed as the nose was not very giving. After 40 mins a spicy nose developed along with a mixture of red and dark fruits. Very firm, but balanced in the mouth with the fruit joined by some earth. Tannins fighting for attention . After 2 hours some alcohol flavors popped up. @Ron Siegel Thanks for the Noortwyck mention in your La Tache post.
