  I was worried about a case of this wine sitting in the cellar for this long. The wax on the cork is a pain in the neck and even though it was kept perfectly, the cork was dry and needed a lot of care to remove as it was breaking apart.
  
  I thinking it probably needs a couple more years to mellow down as there is still a lot of oak. However, 90mins of decanting did wonders for this wine and it started drinking much better.

  Pale garnet with significant rim browning. Oak, vanilla, cherry. Low acids, low tannins. Clove. Medium balanced finish. Vertical at our house

  Mike's wine. Opened for 30 min, then decanted for another 30. This was initially quite tight and tannic, not showing much complexity. A SuperTuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot, it started showing some red cherry and cranberry fruit towards the end of the bottle. Definitely not a favorite, and the damned wax capsule chipped off everywhere, ending up in the wine glasses!
