Consumed from a magnum. Did not decant, it didn’t really need it. Was very worried when I removed the capsule and saw signs of seepage- this wine must have been exposed to heat at some point. Super surprised to find fantastic wine in the bottle, given the conditions with the cork and capsule. Its in a very nice spot right now.

Immediately upon opening was amazed at the black fruit that was still present. Some green pepper notes were present at the beginning. After an hour of being opened at a restaurant, the wine came to life and nice vanilla notes lingered. This wine could cellar for a few more years, although it is drinking unbelievably.
