  Note: I use a rating scale on which 85 represents a very good wine.
  
  Strange experience with this bottle. I opened and decanted (fairly carefully, although not meticulously), and as it turned out, a lot of sediment wound upon in the wine. I put it back in the bottle, waited a day or so and then drank it.
  
  Good bottle. Not great, but very good. A little more flavor than a few years ago, but I think any remaining bottles should be consumed in the near term. I think I have one left.

  Drank over a few days. Better with food, better with a little breathing -- maybe a decant. The Wine Spectator gave this a 90+ and described it as voluptuous -- this was not my bottle. Dusty, not too tannic, but the fruit was not that present.
