  Decanted for an hour. My expectations were not high as the cork disintegrated while opening. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. Delicious hints of chocolate and black raspberry. Wish I had had more than just the one bottle.

  Decanted, with zero sediment, very nice Napa merlot, plenty of fruit, fully integrated, decent finish, paired well with grilled filets.

  Vinturied into decant, consumed over several hours.
  What a difference 4 years makes, lush ripe fruit driven thru to the finish…nicely integrated.
  Really in the bubble now.
  Drink now thru 2023/4
