Decanted back into bottle 2 hours before serving. First glass, big tannins hiding some dark fruit. Medium finish at first, but 2nd glass proved this wine to be a winner. Really needs food with these tannins. 3rd glass did not fade, but rather wine was too warm in middle of heatwave and PGE alerts to reduce AC usage. This should hold a bit longer for sure, for now as others say- decant this well in advance of serving.

4 Wines Blind (Seattle, Washington (Brother's House)): Day 1: Blind. This was the easiest wine to detect and it was easy to guess Bordeaux. Mushroom, tobacco, earth, gravel and red currants. Very tasting and showing extremely well right now. 92 points Day 2: A little less intense so this lost some of its character from day 1 but has the tobacco, mushroom and red currants. Finish is a little weaker however. 89 points Recommendation: Drink now and on day 1.

Tasted after 2 hours of air. Savory red berry fruit. Great acidity just pops on the palate. Nice high toned fruit. Nice finish.

Coming along nicely. The tannins calmed a bit after a three hour decant. Should continue to develop well for years.
