September 3, 2019 - Wow. This wine was majestic. Decanted for about 30 minutes. Was showing some slight funk for thew first 45 minutes. I was worried it might not have been the freshest bottle. It blossomed right in gront of us and changed with every glass. Indeex, the last glass was the best glass, which for me is the sign of a truly great wine. Dark, sweet black cherries, smoked and spiced. Almost like brandied manhattan cherries. Sichuan peppercorn, anise, dried mint, lavender, peat, and charcoal. This was a big monstrous wine, seeming to be just entering its drinking window... but it could probably go for another 50 without losing any freshness whatsoever.
