Started off slow, nice solid wine when first decanted but wasn't doing much. Left in my glass for a couple of hours while trying other wines of the night's tasting, went back at the two hour mark and was blown away! Decant and be patient or give it another ten years in the cellar.

Popped and aerated, paired with grilled burgers. Delicious! Still quite tight however, so holding this wouldn't be a bad idea. Flavors of cassis, fig, graphite and earth, wood notes showing as well. Finish is deliciously chocolatey, with a touch of espresso. Drink now with air - 2034.

Long, dry finish. Needs time to open up. Consider decanting
