Tasting notes

This wine started off very mute and I though it dead. But with a couple of hours in the decanter this turned into a very fine and alive bottle indeed.
Deep red colour. Lightly browning rim. Nose showed first dark berries and leather. With time more ashy minerals, tar and some tobacco. Full-bodied in the mouth and soft style with low acids and noticable alcohol. Dry tannic end. Decent length. Fine and mature wine with much life in it.
