Tuesday, January 3, 2012 - Decanted for two hours. Enjoyed over the next two. At this point in the wines' life, it seems to need time to breathe to soften the edges and liven the fruit. The first few sips after the decant seemed a little bit sharp and listless, but after some air it rounded out quite nicely.
All that said, it is a positive drinking experience but there is not enough in this wine to justify the price tag. It still has life left, but some wines just may have more to offer in their youth.
