Sunday, August 8, 2010 - Could it be that this is at it's peak now? Decanted for a long time (5-6 hr) and really delicious when first drunk with dinner. Big bright large flavors, still plenty of tannins. More flashy than harmonious. The surprise was that by late evening (9-10 hrs after opening), it wasn't nearly as good, and by the next day, it had completely fallen apart. Very different from earlier bottles. So either this is bottle variation, or it's time to start to drink these up.
