A bit disjointed until decanted. Will probably be better in another year or 2, but tasty now.

Solid bottle here. Not quite as complex as I'd hoped but well reserved in an old world style. A bit of candied fruit as it opened up.

Powdery abundant tannins. Like a fine Nebbiolo in that regard. Red fruited and super concentrated. Really incredible.
