  Amazing wine, still young and full of fruit, great out of the bottle and better 2 hours of decanting. Saved one glass for today see if it keeps getting better.

  Pop and pour into a decanter - mold cap underneath the capsule, but otherwise in good condition. In the glass, purple/auburn at the rim, shading to a dark, almost-black purple at the core. On the nose, cassis, mint, and oxidative notes of port and prune, the latter of which blew off after 30 minutes or so. On the palate, the aged notes of mint and cedar present themselves in more assertive fashion, but currants, kirsch, and smoky grilled meat lead the way. Best showing of our bottles thus far, albeit still well short of expectations.
