decanted and poured, drinking very well, though it did get a bit better over the time open, I don't get the sense it would have benefited by a long decant

Drinking well, became more aromatic after an hour or so open...not particularly tannic....accessible, but I get the sense more time won't hurt

Having been through several bottles of this since fall, this wine strikes me as still displaying plenty of tannin-structure, One bottle was funky (TCA-like), but the off-putting aroma didn't seem to be present in the taste. One more recent bottle seemed to have more subdued tannins.....these probably need a couple years. That probably won't happen here 89-91 pts

Won't kill you to exchange that 94-96 blur for a 94-100 points. Can’t wait to read your TNs after accepting the 100 points. …and, yeh, there will sometimes be wines transcending everything. Just like you have already described in your TNs. Let them shine :-)
