This is my last bottle and a good thing too: It is on the decline. The rich fruits from my previous notes are more muted. For my palate, there were no secondary notes from aging. It was still a good pairing to our filet mignon, but it was missing that wow factor from bottles I opened last year. Did not get better with air, which I knew would be the case as this wine has always been ready to go on open.
If I had to rate, it would be an 87-88 today (down from 91). Drink now!

This is a really nice wine that will only improve with some age. Decanted for sixty minutes. This wine has some body and structure. It really coats the mouth. Went great with grilled sirloin off a charcoal grill. Great mix of oak, espresso and some leather.
