Decanted for 1 hour, drank over 3 hours. Really dark, almost black coming out of the bottle. Nose was heavy with black fruit and cigar. On the palate there's some earthy notes, black cherry, with almost a dusty finish. Very good wine that needs another year or more in the bottle or a much longer decant.

10 years old and still incredibly young. Bottle decant 6 hours. Nose of dark chocolate, black fruit compote, baking spices. The palate is seamless, dark fruit and dark chocolate. Amazing wine with so much life left. Another few years before prime. Tannins are alive but not overbearing.

I wouldn't call this pop n' pour exactly, it started out flat and didn't give up anything, then with about 45 minutes of air it popped on the palate. Bright fruit, red raspberry all the way. Lighter in color and weight than previous vintages, but it's still very young.
