Do you think, given your score, they are ready for drinking now then ?
I have not been impressed so far.
What would be your recommended decant time ?

3/3/2021 7:40:00 AM - It was decanted about an hour with a glass saved for the next day. I apologize for not having a note but was going through the cellar and eliminating bottles that have been drunk and basing the score off memory.
I bought 6 of these and really only enjoyed the last two. I kept seeing the potential in the first 4 but no matter how much air, they never really blossomed. The last two (drank in the last 2 weeks) had beautiful fruit, mellowed structure and favourable BdM characteristics.
In hindsight i might have rated previous bottles on the potential I saw but were probably 90-91 at the time drinking. Hope it helps!
