With no decant the wine was just ok just after pouring but after an hour in the glass it was the best wine I have had in a couple of years. So smooth with structure and close to perfection. No need to pair it with food, it is awesome to just enjoy it on its own. It was still good on the second day. I have one more bottle and will wait until next year to open.

Amazing setting up above Clear Lake. Liked this one the best of any of their other wines at the tasting room in May. This was very different. Opened first bottle in November and it is good, right away you do get a lot of alcohol like drinking brandy. After a half hour decant the alcohol is not as pronounced and you just get the aged smoothness. I like this a lot for a nice change of pace.

This has improved a lot since I tried 3/2011, No longer too young. Drinkable and decent . Will likely be at its best in 2013 No decant needed.
