January 18, 2014 - This started out with a huge floral, oak free, nose when I popped the cork. I noticed a decent amount sediment so I decided to double decant quick and put the cork back in since it smelled so great already. After back in the blt I ended up with a low neck fill left. Still smelling great. I took out the cork again an hour or two later and about 20 minutes before dinner and poured a glass. Gone was most of the lovely floral fruit from the nose to be replaced by burbon oak barrel smells. There was still fruit on the palate but it seemd like it had slipped a couple notch since my last tasting 3 years ago. The oak now seems more prevalent. I have three left. Next time I open one I won't decant and see if that helps? Maybe I gave this too much air? I'll try annother blt in the next 6-12 months.
