Opened and decanted for ~50 minutes before we drank. This seemed about right and the wine benefited from the air. The first sips still felt a little tight but the wine really opened over the next 30+ minutes. An enjoyable wine with lots of cherry, spice, and lighter fruit flavor. I found the oak to be nicely balanced her unlike some other KB wines. This could benefit from a few more years in the cellar for my tastes but drinking perfectly fine now. An enjoyable food wine.

This wine is still enjoyable for those who like mature claret. Opened about an hour before we drank it and let it open up in glasses for ~20 minutes. This seemed about right as the wine opened up over the next 30-40 minutes while we drank it. Some fruit still there but fading, lots of cedar, cigar box, and dark fruit. I have 1 more bottle and plan to drink in the next 10-12 months if not sooner. No need to wait
