3 hour decant prior to drinking. Not as good as I recall when tasted last in Nov-21. Not a lot of primary indicators, a bit of mustiness about it, full, lush, overripe and juicy, but somewhat lacking in anything remarkable. Big wine as always. Holding up well but it felt older than 2016.

Tried in a vertical tasting of Noon Eclipse 2013-2018. 2016 rated second or third of the vintages by most of the group, showed the most savoury meatiness after opening up with a decant.
