Enjoyed a magnum of the '97 with family at this year's Thanksgiving feast. Decanted approximately 45 minutes. Superb at first sip, but grew in leaps and bounds as it opened. Robust, dark-color, lingered in the mouth. Full-bodied and probably would have been better with beef or lamb, but in this setting and with loved ones enjoying, it was all we could have asked.
