PnP, I thought this wine was past it's prime initially. However, after an hour or so in the glass is started opening up. I enjoyed it over the next couple of hours. My suggestion is to decant for an hour prior to pouring.

I really liked this wine. Lots going on. I get mocha and red and black fruit with some minerality. Nicely balanced, no alcohol burn. This is still a little tannic and could use another year or two to settle down or a couple hour decant. I enjoyed it over a 4 hour period.
