  Hour and half decant, this is essentially the same as the previous time I drank this with the only difference being my palate has changed, hence the lower score, I enjoy jammy, oaked wine less and less recently.

  Longer decant this time, hour and half and consumed over an additional two hours, the price point makes more sense with the extended air time, this still needs a couple of years in the cellar to mature more fully, worth procuring and putting in storage.

  Short decant. to start out with which definitely affected the nose and palate, this needs some air time. Once it finally relaxed in the glass the nose had a distinct blackberry jam and cedar demeanor. The palate has fine grained tannins and is very low in acidity which keeps the jammy aspect alive and makes for a very smooth, supple mouth feel with continued blackberry, molasses and currant. This is a velvety smooth Meritage on the sweet side, a little too expensive but still very enjoyable.
