  Opened to breathe for 3-4h. Delicious, consistent with my previous notes.

  Decanted for 2h. Gorgeous roses and violets on the nose, such a pleasure on the last night of vacation. The palate is consistent with previous notes, lots of bold red fruit, tar, pepper, and balanced acidity and tannins.

  Gorgeous wine! Opened 5 hours ahead and double decanted 30 minutes prior to consumption. This wine had a beautiful color, with real depth and complexity. Tannins initially were very fine and velvety but became more apparent on the finish. Nice mouthfeel as well. Long finish. Went great with grilled rack of lamb.

  Didn't take formal notes - for this bottle at least, fruit was more on the stewed/oxidized level than I would like for the age of the wine. I enjoyed the bottle and it paired great with a steak. Prune, tree-bark, menthol, sour cherry & tobacco on nose - similar palate. Medium+ body, high acidity, medium+ tannins and long finish. 91+/-
