With lamb burger with carmelized onions, potato salad and fresh peas with spinach.mint pesto (partner had me put gruyere on hers and it was better than mine)
No decant. First half hour was "ok"...and then it began to sing. Springy, great mid-palate, looong aftertaste, acidity stops it from being chocolate. A very impressive wine that fit the meal to a T
Delightful! My penultimate bottle. Will open the last one in the coming months, for the appropriate occasion, and will give it a short decant
Day 2 update.. darn good! Everything held up and it became fuller! Regret that I did not share this with others who would have been equally pleased

This needs a decent decant or several more years in bottle. All the elements appear to be there for a very good wine but seems a little rigid right now.

Hmm, couldn't finish it. Enjoyed previous one 2 yrs ago. Bad bottle? More to try later.

...or 92? Needs long decant and a few more years, but promising and enjoyable.
