Jul 31st, 20231hr+ decant and progressed from 93 to 95 with air. Definitely give a sizable decant. Dark purple, almost black color. Dark cherries, tar, and even a little popcorn on the nose. Velvet on the palate and more depth than I was expecting. Well balanced. Finish was fairly short, which was the biggest criticism. Overall quite lovely and found myself wanting another bottle!
