  Ended up being very nice for the most part, but showing its age a bit. Took about 15-30 minutes of air to fully open and lose a little of its edge. Became rounder and more full wit a little air. However, would not recommend decanting and aeration, as it is a bit fragile and started to close down after getting too much oxygen, about 2 hours after opening. At its peak, had a very enjoyable rich nose and palate. which would have scored in the low 90s. But the finish sometimes had vinegary notes that was showing the age. Not sure how well this bottle was stored - suspect not very well. Purchased at 50% off.
