Magnum, tight, tannin on finish, thinish, on open. Evolved over two hours revealing a nice core of red fruit and a little Burgundian barnyard note. Tannins became quiescent as well. Finish lengthened and the wine became round , balanced and very enjoyable. In future I will decant KW Carter vineyard examples of this age. Still has a long way to go. I think I prefer KW from other properties. It just may need age.

Very good last night with grilled chicken; did not decant. Darker, maroon color, savory nose with a hint of spices. Good length and acidity. Wish I had more of these.

30 min decant. Deep rosy magenta color. Cranberry, prune, red currant, rose petals and subtle slate on the ripe, fruit forward nose. Smooth, dry, tangy palate with good acidity. Oddly chewy tannins on the medium short finish. The nose was intense, but things went downhill from there. Finish was unexpectedly short.
