  Opened on Wed afternoon, let it stand in the cellar until Friday.
  Was open for business on the first pour at 7, got better and better last pour at 10:30.
  
  Loved it. Similar tasting notes to before. Just more of the bottle was singing if I let it breathe for 2 days first.

  Splash decanted 90 minutes and then tasted a few times over the next hour. Classic in style, this is nice but not really showing much fruit. I prefer the 2007 at this point. A-

  Good, very rich. Enjoyed but not my favorite.

  Good but still feels a bit tightly wound up. Drank alongside a Conterno Barolo Bussia Cicala 2012 and 2008 Oreno. Started slowly but improved with time in the decanter. Hit its straps when the cheese came out. The fruit is there but is coming up against pretty high wall of acid right now. Leave alone - for years...

  Poured through the “rabbit aerating pourer” into a wide base decanter with a “l’atelier du vin developer 2” covering the neck to let the wine slowly flow down the sides.
  
  This seems to help open up this stubborn wine quicker.
  
  1 hour later:
  Opened up very well.
  Nice nose. Mint, floral and sour cherry. Clay, something deeper Lurks behind.
  Delicious on the palate. Great fruit, slight “seeetness”, high tannin, very long length.
  
  Love it.
