Inky purple. Needs at least 30 minutes in the glass to open up. Meaty, earthy, mostly black berries. Medium+ weight. Ripe fruit. Aside from the black fruits, there's some strawberry and cherry as well. The meaty and earthy qualities are reinforced on the palate. Throwing quite a bit of sediment. Tannins are no longer aggressive. Soft enough it you have it with some food. A touch of dried herb and black olive at the fairly long finish. At least from a half bottle, pretty approachable already. A perfect match for minestrone and meatballs with tomato risotto.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
