Two hour decant and this wine sang with a dry-aged porterhouse on oak charcoal and hickory chips finished with truffle oil! Fruit was dark and blue, intermingled with loam, spice cedar box and blood orange with smooth tannins holding all together for a long taste profile.

Drank beautifully. Needed some time to open up and still drank a little hot 15 years post-vintage! Red and black fruit throughout the palate. Spice from the alcohol on the finish. Still had quite a bit of life left in it if you ask me. If I had another bottle, I'd wait till 2020 and see what develops. Full bodied.

Loved this wine. Had plenty of lift after 18 years.

In a great spot right now. Good balance, more finess3s than power. Crystalline red fruit, sugary finish.

Great bottle, excellent structure, smooth tannins. Chocolate, tar and tobacco. Could have held this one for another 10 years.
