Friday, February 21, 2014 - Tried a 3hr double decant this time (see my previous note), and there was a clear improvement. So much richer (much richer), full bodied and sweet and long finish. Tanins a bit drying otherwise it would score even higher. Really good and under-rated, and will be better in 5yrs.
