August 3, 2022 - In an amazing "ready to drink" spot. Really. Things have softened, the color is bricking, smooth, not a tannin above a whisper.

How long did you decant this? Did the wine get worse over time? Not a big loss at $32 a bottle I paid. I may have to try one now to see whats going on. Thanks for the review.
