Had Ellen decant at 4pm, with stopper on decanter. Perfect at dinner, and kept improving over the next 1-1/2 hrs. Our Wine Of The Month! Slight good herbal notes, typical of vintage, and similar to Heitz Martha's Vineyard, or Saaicaia. Glad I have a magmum.

this was a wonderful wine. we drank it from a large format (3.0L) so i am not sure how it is drinking from a smaller form factor. black cherry on the palate. the nose of this wine was one of the better that i have experienced in a while. the finish to the wine was well balanced and not dry. some pencil lead on the nose. we opened the bottle and decanted half of it for 1 hour. the wine seemed to peak about 30 mins after opening, but did not deteriorate very much for the next 3 hours. i would buy this wine again.
