I was really hoping my experience would surpass the previous note written in 2016. However, after 2 hours of decanting, this wine is definitely past its prime. Even with perfect cellaring and a perfect cork. Its not bad, mind you, but the fruit has pretty much faded. Still very smooth, nicely structured and retaining its 14.3% alcohol, I enjoyed it with a Chipotle hanger steak.

Past its prime, but still a fun one none the less. A bit dusty and soft but still there

Blueberry and anise. Through the nose and pallet. Banana and red fruit. Leather and plum. Wonderful structure and balance.
