In beautiful shape just now, but definitely needs an hour or more in the decanter as the previous review said (and thank you for that advice). Great length, very together and rounded. Has at least 5 more years ahead of it and likely more.

Amazing that the previous review of this wine was getting on for a decade ago. For those who drank it so early, I hope you have another bottle to try now. On opening, this is a huge, powerful wine. 2 hours in the decanter and a bit more time in the glass and it softens, integrates and smoothes. In really beautiful shape now. And likely for another decade.

Interesting range of reviews here. This bottle was in great shape, drinking very well. Oak had faded, good length, rich flavour. Clearly I had better luck than many.
