Decanted for about an hour, this wine was amazing. musty, chocolate, truffles on the nose with a tobacco finish. very deep, interesting and leaves you wanting more. Definitely enjoyable now, but I believe 5 years will greatly improve this wine.

Waited two years between the last bottle...you know its good when the nose is almost as satisfying as the wine itself! >=two hours decanting still required to bring this wine out properly. served with somewhat spicey pasta and wonderful company made it better! The nose was dark and rich, and the must was enticing, like a promising covering over the goodness to come. Somewhat fruit forward, dry and complex as it changed over the tongue. after taste was long an satisfying. one bottle left makes me wish I had more.

Wonderful wine; a little tight at opening but we sipped it over 2 hours; lovely an hour and at the end wished we had more.
