November 28, 2020 - My second bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Tar, light black fruits, no edge anywhere, round mouthfeel, fruit still there, alcohol way in the background, cloudy so let it settle a few days, soft cork but in good shape, bricking, nice acid. While drinking well now, this has a decade or more in it if you want to keep it around. I have two more in the cellar for another time. Lovely experience.

I don’t see a decant needed unless you want to take the wine off the sediment and pour it back in the bottle for serving. Enjoy. It was a stellar wine. If you have a Durand cork remover, you’ll be better off, but slow coaching out of the cork with just the screw might do it.
