I decanted this bottle for about 4 hours and it opened up nicely. We drank it with appetizers and some cheese. It was sturdy but not overpowering and the tannins were fairly mellow after the decanting period. I have 3 more bottles in the cellar and plan to let them age a bit more but would not hesitate to open another bottle this year.

This was a decent bottle of wine but lacked some maturity. The flavors have not fully mellowed so it was not as smooth as I prefer. I have another bottle in the cellar that will probably age another 2 years before I consume it.
