  I either held this one too long or too little. There is an overt saltiness about this wine leading into big oak notes. Last bottle. The earlier ones were great.
  
  Update: the verdict is this wine is still young. With air, 3-5 hours, black raspberry, anise and pepper emerge, but with a still heavy oak note. Hold.

  Same as last bottle. Relatively monolithic. Slightly over extracted. We tend to like a wine slightly less “wet” if that makes sense. Not that this is a bad bottle of wine. Quite well made but just not ringing it our bells tonite.

  Popped and poured and drank over three hours. Fruit forward, seamless and balanced. Big style. This is in a great place now. Loved it! No decant necessary.

  Rich mouthfeel, loads of tapenade, black raspberry, pepper, eucalyptus and leather. These will probably hold for another 3-5 years+? Great wine.

  No decant. I’ve seen some bottle variation with these, but this one was spot on last night. Very Alban like.
