Decanted for about an hour. Cork didn’t survive opening. Very little sediment. Still good acidity though so plenty of life left. Tannins well integrated. Still plenty of fruit. Glad I finally opened this bottle.

This wine was great with our prime filets on New Years Eve. It is in a perfect place No need to decant. Hold or drink, leaning more towards drink, although it is quite clearly constructed for aging. One note: the cork virtually disintegrated. The wine was unharmed. I have to admit I'm a bit concerned about the other five bottles we have in our cellar. I will just be careful when I open them.

Was worried about a semi soft cork but wine is intact. Big wine drinking perfectly now in my opinion. Leather and chocolate notes so says my friend. Poetry never dissappoints.

Similar to prior notes after a 2 hour double decant; outstanding, drink or hold, no rush

Decanted three hours. Dark dark fruit. Blueberries maybe some black cherry and plums. Tannins still present but not obtrusive. Drinking very well now
