The cork was a little soft but after a 4 hr decant the wine came alive as compared to my initial taste. A surprising amount of Acity. Certainly not high acid, but more than I was expecting With proper cellar aging I think another 5-7 yrs of potential

I ordered in a restaurant so the decant time was about an hr. Still, this wine is amazing. Earth, tar and some lingering red fruit. The tannins are fully integrated. I think this has to be at its peak with 5-7 yrs left in it. Best part of all, menu price $260. Best price today on wine Searcher is $345.
