June 11, 2011 - The Millenium bottle. Opened for 8 hours, decanted. Light Ruby-red. Aromatic nose notes of plums, cherries, oak, with strong stench of wet wood. May have opened up for too many hours, fruits fragrance fading. Velvety coat on palate of fruits, blackcurrants, bits of oak and chocolate, fair structures, and balanced acid back of the palate. Medium finish with still very firm tannin, would cellaring for another 5 years improve it, any opinion out there, still have 3 bottles left
