From magnum, decanted 3 hours. This has swapped the chewy tannin and baby fat of youth for refinement and some complexity. Drinking beautifully, this was served alongside a 2010 Saxum Terry Hoage, and while it didn't rise quite to that level, it didn't suffer for the company. Delicious wine and an outstanding value.

heat is not a problem anymore after 3+ hour decant. this still is not much of a food wine. it's very rich and brooding at this point. wouldnt mind seeing how this shows in 4-5 years, there's a ton of fruit here.

This has rounded out some. Still full throttle, of course, but more composed and balanced with some age.
