Initial nose was outstanding, definitely like a right bank bordeaux. After decanting 2 hours, it put on a huge amount of fruit and sweetness and pretty over the top. Chilled it down to 50° and still just way way way too sweet. Keep this one another ++five years. The initial tannins were marvellous before decanting. It’s like this wine did a 180 and went from fabulous to flabulous :(
Score based on initial tasting, a solid 95 points but blended it to 91 based on how it performed after decanting. Will leave rest of it until tomorrow and see what happens.

This was probably the best bottle I've had of this magnificent wine and I have had more than 20 bottles.It's aroma and flavor filled every crevice in the mouth and olfactory system. Sublime!
