I decanted this and let it stand for an hour. It really breathed life back into it. The colour is not quite there but the taste is brilliant. It's body is holding up with plenty of fruit. Extremely smooth.

Missed it. My bottle certainly was not vibrant like other recent reviews. Cellared well and drinkable without the excitement that I would have gained perhaps 2years earlier.

Still vibrant, ruby colored with medium to long legs. Nose of blackberry, flavor hints of blackberry and black currant (cassis). The body is medium/full with a smooth texture and a lengthy finish. There is still residual acid and tannin and it shows promise to drink well the remainder of the year.
