A short decant on the first bottle and an even shorter decant on the second bottle. Beautiful wine

Popped and let sit for a bit without decanting. Yum in the bottle. Pretty smooth and drinking well. Secondary flavors and a long nice finish

Wow, a great wine. Still a lot of tannins. Agree with other reviewer that it can easily go another 5 years. Definitely decant for an hour or more before consuming

Popped and pored and then decanted and drank over an hour. A little funk on the pallet to begin with but overall a nice wine. Still young.

This wine had a bit of funk at first. Decanted and it went away with time. Secondary notes. For a 2011, not bad given 11 years old

Unfortunately, this wine was a little cold when we opened. Now that it has warmed up and has been opened for a while, tasting a lot better. Very earthy, secondary notes of leather & graphite. Wish we had warmed up earlier
