A bit disjointed until decanted. Will probably be better in another year or 2, but tasty now.

Young, even seemingly so after 4 hours of decant. On the sweet end of savory. Dark flowers, ripe plums, sweet spices, smoke.

Enjoyable but not memorable. Nice fruit but a bit acidic and hollow on the mid palate.
