3 hour decant(decent cloudy sediment). A dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: beautiful notes of dark plum, blueberry, cassis, mint, cedar, bacon fat, floral, smoked meat. Taste: Young of course, but approachable. It's ripe, pure, balanced wine with blackberry jam, licorice, cedar, mint chocolate, cracked pepper and long finish with soft tannins. YUM!! Shoot me, but I really like to break out a few bottles 1-2 years after release.
