This is quite delicious, and equally good with food or without. Seems to be in a prime place and unlikely to improve much. Drank well over several hours, and with no decant.

I feel like i can't rate this because this had a hint of corked flavor that i just couldn't shake. The wet dog taint was ever so slight, but there enough that i had to say goodbye to the 2/3 of the bottle left after i concluded that this really was not drinkable. So many years in the cellar, so little enjoyment ... that's why god made cellars though. There's always a next up!

86-87: Decent wine, no flaws but nothing really makes this wine stand out for me. Very floral, noticable heat, lots of dark berries on the palate, good tannin structure, pretty long finish. Definitely give this some air, opened up a bit after an hr or two and a run through the aerator. Will this improve with time, that I'm unsure of, it will absolutely hold on for a bit, and may improve some, not convinced there will be substantial improvement. Good QpR, pair with Barbq.

The QPR on this wine is amazing. Full bodied wine with really enjoyable flavors. Good with spicy food.

The bouquet opened up after 45 minutes of decanting. Went well with sausages. 13.5% ABV.
