Sadly the last two hot summers have, I think, not been good for the wine in my cellar. New ac unit going in this week! This wine was opened, decanted and drunk within an hour or so. It has lots going on,and In good condition, I would think has plenty of time, if the fruit lasts. All the rest of mine, thankfully 3 dozen or so, is in professional storage and can wait there a while.

decanted and poured, drinking very well, though it did get a bit better over the time open, I don't get the sense it would have benefited by a long decant

Opened for 30 minutes prior to tasting. Luminous medium burgundy color; lovely perfumed nose. Stunningly luscious fruit, despite all the years of bottle age this one has.
It has matured beautifully, and it is recommended for your near term drinking pleasure. Outstanding!

Ripe raisin fruits, chocolate and pepper. Rich, heady and powerful. Good depth and structure.
