Decanted for about 1 hr, consumed over about 1.5 hours. Very nice and showing its age - notes of blueberry, cherry, some floral notes, maybe cassis, a little tobacco, smooth, medium-long finish, very nice but passing its prime, drink up if you have any.

Just excellent! Decanted for about 45 min, and it continued to open and improve over the next 1.5 hours. Blackberry, currant, blueberry, quite a bit of oak, some earthy notes, perhaps a touch of graphite, very smooth and became well-integrated after opening up, good acidity, medium-long finish, delicious!

Much better with a little age, not as overly sweet, great tropical flavors, wonderful dessert wine.
