Not necessarily bad, but my experience didn't align with most comments. Decanted 45 min. Medium nose of pickling spices, weak fruit on both nose and palate, very little tannic structure. I'm assuming past prime, but for the price I expected a bit more. Perhaps bottle variation or poor storage?

Drinking amazingly right now. Needs an hour decant and it opens up beautifully. Nice acidity followed by big dark rich fruit followed by smooth tannins. Everything is integrated perfectly. I am glad I have a few more bottles not sure how long I can hold off.
