Saturday, May 5, 2012 - Opened and decanted for 45 min, served in Riedel Sommelier Burgundy stems at 63 F. Clear garnet color of medium intensity, Nose of clove, cola, allspice damp forest floor, mushrooms, sarsaparilla, cherries, rubarb, and plum. Palate was powerful and finely balanced with soft silky tannins Acid was medium. Finish was pure hedonism, perfumed and never ending. Over the course of drinking, this bottle evolved scents and flavors of dried tea, violets and cranberries along with the before mentioned. This wine was ready to drink but could have aged for decades. This was an impressive tour de force wine.. The second 100 point wine in my lifetime.. I went into mourning when the bottle emptied
