  Decanted 2 hours. Leather, tobacco, white pepper, gunpowder on the nose. Tannins have completely softenened. Plum on the finish. Needed this bottle to make it 18 years and it did with style, not sure if it would have made 21 years though.

  Opened an hour before drinking. more of an earthy, drier flavor and style than I prefer. Not bad, just not great. More cellaring won't help, should drink now.
