Completely different experience from last night. Decanted 1.5 hours. Beautifully fragrant, fresh and lively. Dark red nearly black in the glass with razor sharp translucent edges. Dark fruit flavors of fresh blackberry and blueberry followed by dark chocolate. Tannins are present, rounded and soft adding an elegance to the wine. Great acidity offers freshness and juice to the medium+ finish. Amazing after 17 years.

Soft floral aromas. Dark burgundy in the glass. Fairly tart, dark cherry with dark chocolate. Tannins are soft but do provide a nice supple frame to the wine. Generous acidity.

Super dark purple with red-violet at the edges and noticeable sediment. Very fruity nose with mixed fruits that overall has a sweet fruit punch vibe. It sort of tastes like fruit punch, or a Cassis-based cocktail. Deconstructed, sweet red berries across the gamut dominate with ripe blueberry skin and cocoa dust notes in the mix as well. It has aggressive acids and deep into the lengthy finish features a touch of menthol. Really complex and tasty and at a perfect point in its evolution. It won’t fade anytime soon but I recommend you drink it now.
