Snowy first full of spring with black cherry and cassis. 7 hour decant and thick legs.

Harsh. Too much acid and tannin, too little spice. Needs time to mature. Attempted decanting, using a Venturi, no success in making this an above average wine...maybe I'll revisit it in 5-10 years

Great wine with a wonderful fruit forward approach and a sublime finish, but needed to wait a little longer.
