Decanted 1 hr.
Look: Great purple/red '08 color.
Nose: Red and black cherries, soft spice, forest floor, lt. cranberry, very lt. vanilla.
Body: 2.5% milk.
Taste: Very smooth cherry, good tannins, nice spice, cranberry, musk.
Actually this kept getting Better over the span of 2 hrs.
Finish: Around 45-60 seconds.

Summary: WOW! Certainly decant 1-2 hrs. I would enjoy on it's own ideally. Amazing how it kept getting better.
Started off a 91 pt and wrapped up 93 pts. While I love my Sta. Rita Hills Brewer-Cliftons, this is my top taste for Anderson Valley.
I'll be seeking out more of these (and more Anthills - the rare times one comes across them).
