  This wine has hit its prime with oak and tanins smoothing out perfectly. Big, slightly jammy and very well balanced. Give it 1/2 hour in decanter - it is worth the wait.

  Second of 3 bottles. Drinking pretty good after an hour aeration. Oak is quite present (started to mellow out after 3 hours). Tasted cherries & chocolate, and was velvety in my mouth, with no harsh tannin. Yummy! I'm saving the last bottle for now as I think its got 2+ years left (I want the oak to mellow out more)
