So I've been lukewarm on the last couple of bottles of this wine, but this time I took the advice of other imbibers and decanted. And the wine really blossomed, taking on richness, depth, beautiful floral and savory aromas and flavors. A lovely, mellow, charming old Burg.

Still vibrant with a wonderful front end that leads to an elegant and decently long finish. Huge nose, with lots of varied aromas. Subtle fruit that dances on the tongue. Popped and poured and it started out well and only got better over 60 minutes. WIsh I had more.

Deep magenta in color with slight bricking around the edges. Complex nose shows dark skinned berries, spice, soy and earthy nuances. Quite lush & silky on the palate showing sweet/savory red berries, dark soy, iron, medium acidity, ripe tannins and a long finish. Pretty good but best to drink up now.

Wonderful surprise after reading the other reviews. Fabulous with only a 30 minute decant. Expressive red fruit with well integrated tannins. Drinking perfectly now with no signs of over maturation. Excellent QPR. Wish I had more.

Hints of pretty, graceful fruit, but it's rather faded. Still some prominent tannins. Drink up.
