On opening, there was very little "nose." A small taste followed suit. I thought: "Oh well, let's drink it up with the steak and chalk it off as over the hill. But 2 hrs later, with the NY strip, it started to open up. Excellent with the steak. Since we are restricted in our consumption, there was some left. Vac-u-vin & refrig. Next week, with another steak, it was truly glorious. Plenty of fruit, lots of backbone. Give it a good decant now or hold for a few more years.

Delightful Halloween treat consumed on the deck at Capitol Reef. A nice pairing with Snickers too!
