I'm in agreement with other reviewers: This wine was fabulous. I don't know how much longer it can cellar, though, and so I am happy to have opened my only bottle last night with friends. And while I did decide to decant, my first taste was bottle-to-glass. As it turned out, decanting was completely unnecessary and added nothing to the silky-smooth tasting experience.

Still absolutely gorgeous. Wonderfully smooth tannins. Great mouthfeel. Would never guess the wine was 16 years old. Color was a beautiful deep purple. Great depth of flavor. Dark fruits, blueberry

From magnum. This magnum showed even better than the last one, rocking velvety dark fruit with just a hint of sweetness, light acid, firm but supple tannins. Palate is full yet feminine. Delicious.

Pop and pour from magnum. My last. Showing beautifully with figs, smooth black fruit, sous bois. No need to hold further.

From magnum. Pop and pour, took two hours to peak so recommend decant. With air, silky, viscous Syrah with dark fruit, spice, eucalyptus. Just lovely.
