Bottle was stored at 57 degrees since new from vineyard. Did not decant but allowed to sit in glass as dinner was cooked. Color was still quite dark with no halo descernable. Very nice nose and dark fruit to the pallet. Tannins were near fully resolved. Tasted Merlot like to my pallet but quite good with my steak dinner! Finish was long and smooth. A nice experience for me. My opinion this wine has several more years at this level but unlikely to get better.

Decanted 30 minutes but still opened further after poured in glass. Exceptional. Still drinking well even though warnings to drink up have been in notes for the last 2 years. (Which I agree with).
