The aromas are a little stronger, plus you can now smell leather on the nose after decanting.<br \/><strong>Palate<\/strong>:\u00a0 This wine is dry, medium-plus body with a smooth, soft mouthfeel.\u00a0 Aged black fruit, plums, oak and touches of cherries and leather.\u00a0 Fine-grained medium intensity tannins that get stronger toward the finish.\u00a0 Medium acidity.\u00a0 The wine becomes a little peppery on the palate after decanting.<br \/><strong>Finish<\/strong>:\u00a0 A medium-plus length, finishing with firmer drying tannins.\u00a0 Flavours of aged black fruit, leather, oak, and some pepperiness. No change to the finish after decanting.<\/p>\n<p>A mature red wine that I would recommend drinking now or in the next year.\u00a0 Fuller body, showing tertiary aged fruits on the nose and palate.\u00a0 Smooth but has tannic structure.\u00a0 I prefer undecanted as the leather aroma (a tertiary aroma) is not as strong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating<\/strong>: <span class=\"usr-stars\" style=\"height: 20px;
