Decanted for about 2 hours. A bit of dark fruit. Most of the tannins were well integrated. Good but not great, this wine was a bit one dimensional and isn't likely to get any better. Time to drink.

Mellow and smooth when first opened; very little bouquet; blossomed out with peppery pizazz, choclate and cherry lingering flavors. Very full. Very enjoyable. Served with Sanger sandwiches, portabellos and caesar salad for Bill's birthday - overall delicious and surprising.

Needs at least 2 hours to open. Had just tasted the 2013 vintage earlier in the day and this is a far superior wine.
