  Still a young wine, Gave it a good 2-3 hour decant, unresolved fine grainy & dusty tannins, -a rare and very distinctive dominating and defined note of mint, green apples & pears that's quite a surprise, strange experience that's even stronger than on some white wines. I'm giving the next bottle at least 5 more years on the cellar.
  A curious story...I brought this to a business lunch with a long time customer because It was the same as a box of wine that I gave him as a wedding present 7 years ago. I thought, it would be a nice touch that he would appreciate.....funny though, after asking to see the decanted bottle he just said "I must tell you, we're getting divorced!!"
