Opened two hours before drinking (no formal decant). Rusty ruby maroon color, with yellowing rim. Raisin and vinyl on the nose. Brambly raisiny palate with high acidity. Full, round tannins on the medium long finish. This is not improving.

30 min decant. Deep maroon/magenta with browning rim. Musty/confectionary nose (butterscotch, dark fruit and prune). Smooth, tart, tongue-coating palate. Low intensity, but firm tannins on the medium long finish. This is good, but feels like it’s beyond its peak. It’s getting a little tired.

Four hour decant. Lots of yellowing on the rim showing age. Prune, wet moss and pine tree sap on the fragrant nose. Tart palate. Soft, but firm tannins on medium finish. This is likely past it's prime. I'll drink my last three bottles this year and decant only 30 min.

Decanted for 11 hours. Fragrant nose of raisin and rich red fruit. Full mouthfeel with great acidity. Tannic, but pleasant finish. This wine has many years left.

This is a great wine... everyone loved it. Decanted for 30 and that's all it took to open up. This is a complete wine with long finish. At 30min to open up it makes it a viable restaurant option. Glass of schramsberg and we will be good to go. Twelve more so stay tuned.
