Decanted for only 30 minutes. Still fruit there - not a great initial aroma. Reminds me of a cabernet based Bordeaux. Some finer tannins left, pencil lead. Solid ending. This has been stored perfectly upon release. Would not let this age much more.

With Chateaubriand At the Zimms (from his cellar)...I believe this is 100% Cabernet Sauv but shows Classic Bordeaux flavors, Cigar Box, lead Pencil, slight hint of funk but preety clean, no bricking slight cakeing on wall but not much sediment really good. Probably Drink up.

opened this bottle with the thought that it probably was bad. Boy was I wrong. Although the nose was weak the fruit was complex and full. It was very enjoyable.

I like it but not really special. Time to drink up.
