Hard as nails and dried out even after a few hours of air. Lots of interesting tertiary stuff going on, but this was largely a joyless endeavor, unfortunately. I suspect a bad bottle after seeing other reviews.

Olives and smoked meat. Kept developing. Decanted one hour. Gorgeous fruit on palate. By the end of the bottle, the wine had completely evolved brilliantly
