I knew this would need to breathe, so into the decanter with you! But when I first popped it, this had 1998's puckering acidity with notes of iron. Super tight, do not touch for at least an hour. After an hour or so in the decanter, very pretty crunchy earthy bright cherries, minerals and more iron came to the fore, and the wine had really rounded out, ending with a mid-length spicy finish. The mouthfeel was rather silky too, a real treat.
Very good with pork chops, mushrooms and veggies.
