  Surprised, given the year. Good, but not great. Lacking some intensity. 92/93

  Corked!

  Tasted a bit; it shows that it had the right stuf but muted. The musty nose just made it undrinkable.

  Decanted for 20 minutes and chilled to 68F. Very similar experience to our previous bottle of 10/8 but with the loss of a shade or two of brightness and the appearance of just a hint of alcohol on the finish.

  We don't usually have the same wine in rapid succession but the salmon with a brown sugar/mustard glaze/sauce seemed to call out for this.
  Based on our previous TN we decanted this bottle for 20 minutes and cooled it to true room temp (~68F). The result was an even more enjoyable version of this great wine. The color was dark purple and there were lots of dark red and some black fruits on the nose. These dark red and black fruits were joined by a hefty dose of spice, some earth and light minerality on the medium plus bodied palate. The acidity was up to the task of balancing the fruit and there was just a hint of drying tannins on the finish. With some air this wine really comes into its own and probably has many years ahead.

  Decided to shorten the aeration and this bottle was significantly better than our previous.
  Slo-oxed for 25 minutes yielding a medium plus purple color with lots of dark red fruits on the nose. These dark red fruits (black cherry/berry) amplified on the medium to plus palate as they were joined by a solid dose of spice, some earth, nicely balancing acidity and a touch of drying tannins on the finish. Not as deep or expressive as the 2012, but quite satisfying, and with many years ahead.
