Sunday, August 18, 2013 - only opened and decanted 45 minutes before I got to the restaurant. As it turned out this wine really needed more close to 1½ hours of decanting time, as I had been doing before. Without sufficient aeration the alcohol was too sharp in the nose, much like paint thinner. This faded gradually. Very sweet and caramelized on the nose, a little like cotton candy, with lemon, straw and finally toasty notes after 2 hours. Drank reasonably well but slightly disappointed.
