Opened an hour, then decanted another hour. No hint of bricking for a wine of 23 yrs old. Cedar, lead pencil, graphite, minerals and blue fruits on the nose. Tannins are well integrated but still quite present. Really drinking well and will continue for a long while. No rush to drink up, probably 20 yrs left.
