Not decanted, consumed over 2-3 hours. Seems to be some bottle variation here, as this bottle was not especially reminiscent of our last two - no signs of oxidation here, mixed berry rather than cherry fruit, touches of mint/menthol and something savory which I really enjoyed. We have a couple more of these coming, and I hope they show like this one did.

Not decanted, consumed over ~1 1/2 hours. Something seemed just a touch off here...oxidation? bottle variation? a touch of heat damage? Whatever it was, this remained an enjoyable-enough bottle, with roasty red fruit, some pleasant earthiness, and enough acidity to not fall flat. Probably best over the next couple of years.
