April 15, 2020 - This bottle evolved tremendously over the course of 2 hours. Poured into a glass and decanted the remaining. Started off musty, old world lacking depth and concentration. Turned into a wine that filled out, vibrant fruit, very complex nose of rich cherry/raspberry, some iron and a melange of flowers/earth/minerals. Beautiful wine, ready to go after about an hour in the decanter.

ikileo Does not like this wine:
November 28, 2012 - Upon first taste, lack of balance and slightly disjointed in flavour. Could smell some of the ethanol.
Slow ox'ed for 6 hours, recorked and brought it for dinner where it was decanted for 1.5 hours.
For most part of dinner, the nose was rather nice with notes of rose, red fruit, spices and toast.
Flavour was a bit of a let down, it wasn't bad, but neither did it show very much. May be shut down at this stage. Just some dark fruit notes and integrated oak notes. It wasn't explosive, neither was it elegant.
still drinkable and may have potential to be decent, but not very good. -
