Fabulous wine. Decanted for 2-1/2 hours and it kept getting better as we drank it over the next 1-1'2 hours with steak. Total package, complex fruit opening that developed further making for a great mid-palate followed by a long dry finish. Completely balanced, dense but not over extracted. Much better than the previous bottle we drank with friends (again with steak) a few months ago but only decanted for a little over an hour. Koodoos to the winemaker.

Not terrible, but not good either. Easy to find better wine for $20.

Past its prime. Waited too long to drink it. No fruit and, somewhat astringent.
