Bottom Line ... There is about an hour and a half window, at the 1 hour and a half mark, where this wine really starts to become something wonderful; but then it starts to die off. Don't decant, let this wine open naturally. Then at an hour-and-a-half mark watch it open and stretch out. You're going to be thrilled. By 3 hours, maybe not so much. Glad to have gotten to this wine now.

Decanted an hour before dinner. Better and more mature than three years ago, sour cherry, plum and first tertiary notes in the background, good acidity medium to full bodied, long finish, still a bit spicy else very good (88-89), no hurry to drink the last bottles.

Mild on all accounts. Should have had it a couple years ago.
