One hour decant resulted in a very odd experience: Sour nose but drank well. Cork was in excellent condition. Largest sediment collection I've ever seen inside a bottle of wine. Just smelled like it was WAY past peak but was enjoyable with chocolate. If you are cellaring this one thinking its a masterpiece, think again. Drink it now with reduced expectations as it airs out.

Definitely one of their best years ever. Possesses a finish much better than its price suggests.
