not decanted. somewhat candied, with very sweet tannin. moderate oak that gives some pause/hope for development, but i don't think this will ever be something that reaches the height of the gemstone vineyard wine from the same year. i had higher expectations for it, so a little disappointing, even though it is hardly a bad wine.
