Sunday, December 16, 2018 - From a 375. Stood up for 1 week, had fine sediment at the bottom. Decanted and tasted. Medium-clear ruby-garnet with moderate bricking (bottom 1-2 oz was cloudy but decanted off); medium to medium-plus intensity, soy, umami, red fruit; medium-bodied, medium to medium-plus acidity, chewy red fruit, cherries, savory, a bit of soy, balance medium alcohol (13.5% on label); medium-plus finish. This is really nice, and I'll give it some air before tasting again this evening. 92-93 now
5 hours decanted: Nose has a bit more intensity, a bit of Christmas spice, just slight smoke, superbly integrated soy with red fruit; palate is similar to when first opened. This is like being wrapped in a blanket in front of a fire, superbly put together and unlike any other wine. 93 with years ahead of it.
