  Prior note is spot on. Would add this massively outperformed expectations with more wow factor than a 93 mouton and an 07 P. Conterno Ginestra riserva drank alongside

  From magnum purchased in 1/2012 (Sherlocks, Atlanta).
  
  At dinner, so no formal notes - dark red color - great nose - Tar, rose petals, sour cherry, tart cherry & tobacco. Similar palate. Full body, medium+ acids, medium tannins (integrated into wine now) and very long finish - fruit is slightly oxidized but this wine tasted younger than it's age would suggest (1.5L probably helped). Tart cherry, sour cherry, mushrooms and tobacco flavor profile. Enjoyed by all tasters. 93+/-
  
  Could go a few more years at least out of a Magnum.

  Last tasted and enjoyed December 2015. No need to decant. Very approachable immediately after opening. Pleasant texture, nose and finish. Better than expected but its getting a bit thin - my last bottle should be drunk soon

  Decanted at 5 pm for drinking at a tasting dinner starting at 7pm. Mediium to dark slightly translucent ruby/garnet with moderate bricking. Appears mature. Fairly typical nose of rose petals, chocolate, vanilla and cherry. Palate is velvety smooth with fully integrated tannins and nice weight. Nice long aftertaste. Great with the braised short ribs.
