  Decanted 2 hours. Still a massive wine, and should have probably tried to let this one lay down longer, but I had to get this moldy labeled thing out of my wine fridge before it affected other bottles. Glad I did though, because this wine is delicious! Big black fruit...cassis, black cherry and fig, with earth, chocolate and espresso coffee. Still quite structured, but it paired beautifully with grass-fed beef meatloaf. Drink now with air (best to wait a year or two though) - 2034.

  Decanted 2 hours and funneled back into the bottle for serving. The label on this bottle is a mess, thanks to my new wine fridge getting too humid inside over the summer. Looks like mold starting to form, and the label had fallen off at one point but I got it to stick again. I love this blend and the wines from XL are massive. Delicious, big black fruit, lots (!!!) of structure, and a very nice mocha finish. Could have used more time in the decanter, but was very enjoyable. Drink 2022 - 2035, perhaps longer.
