This bottle opened nicely after an hour, dark cherry and vanilla were present with lots of tannins left so I'll lay down my other 3 bottles for a few more years. We enjoyed this bottle

Drank over several days. This is so good, I want to get a truckload. If you can hold for, say, two years, it will be even better. But, life is short, and you can enjoy with an hour decant today. Carpe diem.

I opened this bottle back in early January. Others drank it and I thought they finished it but I found I had vacu-sealed the bottle and stuck it in a spare refrigerator. Last night I pulled the bottle out and pulled the top off thinking it was destined for the sink drain. I took a quick smell and thought “Wait a second, that is nice.” I poured out the glass that remained. Wow. It was great. Nose was mellow and smooth. The palate had dark fruits and sweet, balanced tannins. This suggests to me that cellaring these for a few years will be rewarding.

Two bottles of this over the past 2-3 months. Completely one-dimensional. No fruit, nothing. It didn't improve after air, just sat there like a complete dud. Really hard to understand. I'm glad the bottle last night was my last.
