Decanted 2 hours prior to prime rib Christmas dinner. Rich aromas of both red and dark fruits. Silky smooth with a mouth texture much like 2% milk. Dark fruits predominate, with just a hint of tobacco and cola flavors. My guests are not normally beer drinkers, but they all raved over how good with was. (My wife bought this for my 55th birthday, and we have been holding on to it for over 5 years.)

Decanted about 1 hour and drank over the next two hours. Black cherry predominant on the palate and nose. Tannins still present but much more integrated than two years ago. Overall very tasty.

Wine Old-Timers Lunch (Charles Krug Winery Carriage Hose): Great wine on a special day. Perfectly developed and at its prime.
