Decanted for 2+ hours. Dark fruit nose from the start. Licorice notes soon after opening and developed an underlying dryness after a bit. Light and dark fruit flavors, leather, tobacco. All well integrated. It paired really well with Beef Short Ribs.

Pleasantly surprised at how delicious this was for its age! A little licorice dominant at opening but, after about 30 minutes decanting, it was balanced, juicy, and flavorful.

Lovely, well integrated, medium fruit, cedar, complex. Decanted for about 45 minutes but it didn't need much air to be delicious. One more bottle of this vintage.
