Almost 3 years since my last bottle consumption and WOW!, it is still exceptional. Decanted at the restaurant and it improved noticeably after 30 minutes or so. Next bottle I will decant earlier to see how it does with an hour or so in the decanter.

Last of the six bottles purchased and definitely the best. It has lost the strong spice and big fruit that I experienced from previous bottle that I drank too early. Gave it a two hour decant and it is in a really good spot right now. Very dark in the glass with a real nice balance of fruit and acidity. Paired well with Chicken Tandoori. Favorite part of the wine is the long finish of prune and kirsh.

Drank over 2 nights. Night one it went very well with a London Broil. Night two it was even better with some Pork Marsala but the last glass i had with a brownie was the best, it brought out more of a kirsch flavor and was a perfect match.

Decanted at restaurant, VERY expressive nose of dark fruit to match the DARK color in the glass. Silky smooth mouth feel with a long finish.
