Complex wine when it comes to the smell. Lovely tobacco with violet, dried herbs, cured meat, iron, and raspberry. Flavors are black cherry, balsamic, menthol, and dried herbs. High mouth-drying tannins and medium acidity. After two hours of decanting and the tannins didn't let up, but close to 3 it started just a tad so food is a must, or let it sleep more. - Tasted July 2023
