Wow! 1,5 hour decant. Should have 3. When open this wine is just stunning. Dried fruit, tobacco, leather, chocolate and nuts. Still great acidity and the tannins are so integrated and well balanced. Will still last for many years.

new years eve; 1 hr decant; such a great wine here, resolved tannins, no sense of heat just lush and so flavorful, dark cherry, leather and lightly bound sweet figs. So great to have waited this long. Perfect moment. Paired with osso bucco greatly.

I have to bump up the rating on this from 96, because this bottle, 9 years later is even more delicious. Leather and cedar and smoke dominate on the nose. Really draws you in. The palate is the killer though: the tobacco, the chocolate, the slightly carmelized quality, the intense dark fruit, the earthy tone -- all are wonderful. It turns into a classic "meditazione" wine.
