Unbelievably excellent. Completely unexpected. Had been stored properly by friends and the cork came out easily. Decided not to decant, because I thought it might fall apart with too much air. Let it sit in the bottle for an hour. Wine is still huge - dark in color, plenty of fruit, smooth finish. It can continue to age, but it's getting to be time to enjoy it.

Great wine that aged nicely. Inky black color. Very nice earthy smell. Taste of black fruits. Decanted for ~45 min. Would recommend to drink now.

Great wine. Still very young. A beast. Great now but will improve for a long time.

Still amazingly chewy/tannic, but alas the fruit has faded and the wine has become slightly bitter
