I opened the 2013 in late 2021, and then let it be in the decanter for about an hour. I've had this wine when it was younger... found it kind of blunt and one-note. Given some years, and given time to breathe, a much more nuanced, yet still powerful, wine.

Dense black fruit with bits of pepper on the finish. Moderate tannins but really awesome now. A decant is a good move right now. But this still drinks beautifully.

Dark red and black fruit, tannins are a bit out of balance and may benefit from more aging. Has some chalk with a grainy texture. Seems a bit harsh right now, but may open up with some time. Short to medium finish.
