Monday, August 29, 2016 - A superb wine, saved for my birthday dinner. The 3+ hours it spent in the decanter was a bit of a roller-coaster ride, as it changed identity several times, opening and closing, revealing acidity then hiding it again, and displaying various facets of dried fruit, pressed flowers, Madeira, and wet leather. In the end, if finally calmed down into something suitable for the cocoa & chile notes of my wife's celebrated Mole sauce, with deep chocolate and spice notes of its own. A fantastic wine for a special evening.
