Great glass! Decanted 4 hours before drinking. Fully agree with the last few tasting notes. This wine must have another 20-25 years of life in it. It was young, and full of fruit. But also notes of cedar and stable animals -). It held its structure through the evening and in the glass and general consensus was that it was the most pleasant experience of the evening - in a strong field of bottles. It was a Magnum kept in perfect conditions. Will open another bottle in a few years time and test my hypothesis.

Drank straight from the bottle. Within half an hour it was at its peak. Lovely round and mature.
