Decanted. Tasted after an hour and still somewhat tight. Four hours after opening this was delicious and really started to shine.Dark fruit flavors, integrated tannins with a lingering finish. Was afraid it was past its prime based on some comments but still drinking well.

I was afraid I waited too long to open but it is still drinking nicely. Not too jammy with just the right amount of acidity. This wine is almost a 92. I just wish it had a lingering finish because that would bring it home for me.

Paired with barbecued steaks. Spiciness and earthiness of wine paired nicely. Steaks are gone but still enjoying the wine on its own.
