Quick decant then immediate return to uncorked bottle for about 3 hours. Best aeration so far IMO. Mocha, blackberry and a hint of eucalyptus. Tannins just right for me. This wine was singing tonight.

Needed lots of air tonight. Started out thick and heavy with dark fruits. Seemed out of balance. Later, some tannins came through. I wish I had decanted for 1-2 hours. Lesson learned.

Same as last note but more alcohol. Decanted about 2 1/2 hours vs 1 1/2 hours last fall. Still quite enjoyable.

First bottle. Decanted approx 1.5 hours. Blue fruit, chocolate. BIG fruit. Very nice, especially with more air. No hurry to open next bottle.
