  Just had this a few days ago, and I thought it should be better.
  This bottle, I decanted for an hour. It opened, but 2020 seems to be less exciting than 2016.
  
  Maybe it just needs another 4+ years to mature, like every other "fine", cellar worthy wine...
  
  It's well made but generally, this vintage isn't what the previous one I'd quaffed.
  
  *Addendum - it's significantly better 24 hours later, which to me just says this wine needs a little more bottle age to be what it can be.
  3-5 more years will make a big difference!
  
  PS Drink The Rainbow!
