Three and a half hour decant. Deep dark ruby magenta color. Blueberry, black cherry, black walnut brownie, cinnamon-dusted caramel custard, thyme, and gardenia. Dry, plush, slightly dusty palate. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish.
This is very nice, but probably even better with a shorter decant. More time in the cellar will also be beneficial. I hope to wait a year before having my next bottle.
Was my first SS and was excellent… was a PnP.. and this bottle was pretty ready to go after an hour.. could easily see this getting better with some time in bottle… going to lay the remaining bottles for awhile and if popped .. think would gove a good double decant and back in bottle for 1/2 day or so. This had great integration and was primarily black & blue fruit. Looking for to the next time trying for some more detailed notes…
