I must admit that when I first had this wine, shortly after its uncorking, I found it insipid with overwhelming scents of tobacco and smoke that was downright off-putting. This was as my wife as 39.5 weeks pregnant with our first child and, thinking this could be my last night of freedom, I actually corked the wine to open a different bottle.

Do yourself a favour and decant this wine for a similar experience.
