  Decanted in Reidel Cabernet decanter and consumed over 3 hours with dinner. Stunning complex bouquet immediately after pouring into the glass. Gobs of black fruits, licorice, dark chocolate and spices. Seamless rich texture on the palate with almost no perceptible tannins. Long, mineral and spice tinged finish. Exceptional the first 30 minutes before it quickly fell apart and leveled off the rest of the evening to show more alcohol and simpler notes with disjointed acidity. The table agreed. Highly recommend not decanting. At peak, IMO.

  Very young but still amazing. This could go near perfection with some more much needed time. Philippe and Dana come through again!
