This is still nice and chewy. Will wait maybe another year to try the next bottle. Decanted close to 2 hours before drinking with marinated flat iron steaks. Decent wood, dark fruit and the Petit shines through more than expected, which I like. Wish I had grabbed a few more of these.

This bottle far exceeded expectations. I figured by this point it would likely be flat and unenjoyable. Quit the opposite though. It drank like a beautifully aged Bordeaux, but retained that darker coloring. Wish I had a few more of these.

Good now with a decant, but definitely needs more time to soften. This could be really great in a few years.
