3/27/2009 - taster wrote: 90 pointsDecanted for 7 hours before really serving; smooth, rich with nice berry and chocolate flavors; medium body. I really liked the style, not so big & heavy. Definitely needs some decanting as it allows the hot alcohol notes to blow off. Started enjoying the flavors when I tasted after opened for 4 hours, just got better as time past. |
