Nose was wonderful, but the palate was thin and lackluster.

Transparent violet color particularly around edge area and violet nose. Black currant flavor. Enough acid. It's difficult to say whether it is elegant or thin? But, finally I found that this wine should be decanted for 2 hours. Completely different. @4622, AdW, 170401-170422
