A quandary... Decanted half the bottle 45 minutes prior to dinner. The other half poured as we sat down. The decanted version had a slightly muddled nose with some wild animal aspects and a twist of acid on the finish. The non-decanted was spicy, savory, and energetic. Could the decanter have been flawed? Its usually very pristine, but I have no other way to explain this phenomenon. The non-decanted remains delicious 3 hours later, with plenty of natural tannin and acid to indicate another 3-5+ years of excellent drinking. 90++

Paired with bbq. Delicious. Would purchase again. Nice fruit, sweeter but not cloy-ish.
