Sunday, June 21, 2020 - Double decanted (modest sediment) then slow O’d in bottle for 7 hours. On opening seemed too acidic and no stuffing left and thought it might be over the hill. Nope. After 7 hours the wine was sublime. Delicate fruit (cherries and other red fruit), light tannins, hint of vanilla - really a fantastic old claret. Went great with a NY strip steak on Father’s Day. This wine is ready to drink and not over the hill. Still have a few more.
