Absolutely benefitted from decanting. Our bottle had a significant amount of sediment, and the cork itself was dry and brittle. Garnet in color, with flavors of rich, deep black cherry and vanilla -- it paired beautifully with steak, potatoes, salad and sourdough to celebrate the transition to 2022.

We didn't love this, which rather surprised us. It was very fruity, and fuller bodied than we expected based on its color. Perhaps the issue was what we paired it with (salami & a truffle cheese). We'll finish the bottle with some pork tenderloin tomorrow, and reevaluate. The wine looks ruby colored with medium legs and no sediment. It's medium-bodied with a silky texture and a medium finish.
