Decanted for two hours. Very elegant wine with silky tannins and a complex though subdued bouquet, which character is difficult to describe (albeit remembering Bordeaux and Côte Rôtie alike contributions...) This wine has been blind tasted. Fortunately, I have 3 bottles left...

The end of an OWC story:
A mature ruby wine displaying an intoxicating cedarwood alike bouquet with silky tannins.
