Consistent with my first note, +3 years ahead in time. This is still one for longer term cellaring, drinks like a $50-$100 bottle. It has opened up reasonably on the palate, still tight aromatically, tannins clamp down on the finish. Tons of material in this wine, excellent potential to develop tertiary characteristics with age.
Sediment already developing, decant or pour with care.

3h decant. Young, but fairly approachable despite the robust tannins. It didn't strike me as a tannin monster, but it certainly has room to grow.
Edit: it is already fading on day two. Perhaps the longevity of this wine is a bit overstated.

PnP. Drinking much better than previous bottles and quite enjoyable.
