Tuesday, April 2, 2019 - Decanted at cellar temp for 5 hours and room temp for 2 hours. The sediment has become a solid thin sheet on the inside of the bottle and came out like a pieces of thin fruit rollup when I rinsed the bottle. Cork was OK but used prongs to ease it out.
Wine was very light colored and still balanced between maroon and Brick - what little amber there was seemed to fade.
Very nice nose of mushroom, earth, old attic and some residual tart fruit. Palate was a mix of earth, mushroom, tart cherry, iodine, dust and some other unknown flavors.
most excellent experience when decanted properly.
