  Tasted at 0, 1, and 2 hours decanting and it opened up by 1.5 hours. Still youthful; if I had another I’d wait another 5-8 years. Well integrated tannins, bold flavors of red cherry, currant, pepper, and tobacco. First time having Mayacamas and I feel transported to the Judgement of Paris. Very fun to try a tasty piece of history.

  Drinking well with about a 60 minute decant. Medium body and a good balance of old world / new world characteristics.

  Late night drink with J at home. From 375ml bottle. Drank over 1.5 hours. Drank in Sydonios Meridional.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of woodsy earth, cedarwood, blackurrant with hint of leafiness, black cherries, pencil lead. With more air, red cherries and lovely leather meat. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, gentle high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.25%), integrating high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of cedarwood, black cherries, elegant blackcurrant, cassis, cool menthol/peppermint, smoked ripe bell peppers. With more air, juicy dark red plums and leathery meat and becomes so smooth. Savoriness on a very long finish.
  Very very good quality. In the mould of classic Left Bank Bordeaux. Will age well! So good with air.
