    Dark opaque garnet with slight lightening at the edge. At opening, the anise on the nose was overpowering. As time went by, the anise receded to leave a nose dominated by tar, with roses, dark fruits, anise, and a hint of menthol and spices. Dark fruits, red fruits, cherry, and substantial tannins on the palate. A delicious wine that went very well with short ribs.

Thanks for the note. Was this a pop & pour?

Pretty close. I opened and decanted when I started cooking dinner. So it probably had about 45 mins to 1 hour in the decanter prior to serving.
