Had this with standing cross rib roast. Magenta brick color with a nose of wet earth, ash and tar. Very smooth mouthfeel with well integrated tannins and notes of dried cherry and strawberry layered with rose petals and truffles and a hint of licorice. 91-92gg points.

Cheers!

Vinoman 7

Didn't really decant that long, maybe 15 minutes. It did get nicer in the glass with time however. Hope you enjoy it.

Cheers!
