Decanted 30 min. Began to open nicely. Dusty tannins, rich fruit yet still refined. Dark plum, cedar, black pepper, cassis

Much more tannins than the others. While the mouthfeel is still silky, the tannins overtake the fruit on the finish and I'm not sure that this will ever change with this wine.

Absolutely singing, recently enjoyed by my wife and I on the patio with grilled steaks. Very old-school profile of dark fruit, earth and leather, still young enough to hold onto our 2nd bottle for a few more years.

Opened this magnum for a dinner party and it was a hit. Held up well after 15 years and needed to breathe just a bit. But once it opened up it was spectacular.
