Opened a mag purchased directly from the winery and stored at 55F/70%RH. Decanted and double filtered about 2 hours before dinner. We enjoyed a delicious, well balanced, medium to heavy dark fruit wine. Finish was somewhat short, but I was very impressed with the bottle - thought it had possibly exceeded it’s life in a mag but glad I was wrong. Thanks for the effort Mark!

Double decant approximately 2 hours before serving. Full body, deep, rich fruit notes. Just as good as the 2024 NYE bottle.

Decanted about an hour before serving. Drinking nicely, smooth texture, balanced and no signs of immaturity.
