Decant 1 hour. Started off red fruit, and fresh brush. Acidity was slightly high and oak noticeable but integrated. Second glass an hour later the wine opened up and became the dark, opulent wine I was expecting with this vintage. Tannins still very apparent but with a decant it is a beauty.

Very bright with luscious fruit and well balanced. Nice and deep. Young but really pleasant mouthfeel. Finish on the shorter side but a really nice wine.
