We ended up decanting this, but not sure it needed it. Jovial fruit, titch of menthol, worn leather on the nose. Fruit much younger on the palate than I would have thought by the nose, with strong red and black fruit, unripe and ripe strawberries, and darker cherries predominating. Overall excellent showing

One of my three favorites among about 20 premium wines at a party. Pretty amazing. Might have guessed it to be from 2010, not 2000. Fresh, balanced, and rich.

double-decanted 1 hour prior to serving. Some smoke and leather in the nose, kinda muted, with some sweetness on the palate. Improved over time.

Still youthful, with cherry notes but deep smooth structure. This wine still has 6-10 years to age beautifully.
