Deep purple wine, with high-intensity aromas of perfume, cassis, potting soil, and oak. This is before 90 minutes of decanting. The palate was the same with some minerals, leather, and some chalky tannins.
After 90 minutes it became fruitier, perfumy, with some cedar, and less powerful with raspberry and plum. Low tannins and high acidity. A good food wine that everyone will enjoy.
