Upon opening this was super tight, so I decanted for about 30 minutes before dinner. Wine opened up nicely with blue fruits and well integrated tannins. Very smooth. Paired beautifully with lamb shoulder and root vegetables. I would recommend a short decant. I was assuming that this wine would be at or beyond its peak, but I think I will hold my last bottle for another year to see if it continues to develop.

Beautifully resolved balance of fruit and tannins - both are still present but softened. Drinking wonderfully right now.
