Did not decant. Turns out I did not need to decant! Big open black fruit all the way through. Good Core. At its top and maybe a slight downward turn. Nice finish. Drink up!!

Drank as the sixth bottle of the night after all of the “wines of Monte Bello”. Palate was shot, but this still held up. Drinking beautifully right now.

No way I would have ever picked this for a 17 yr old wine. The cork was in perfect shape, the nose was still absolutely fresh and vibrant. I’ve recently had the 2015 Syrah from ridge which I rated a 95, and this none follows suit. Still at least 5 years left on this one. Incredibly balanced wine.

Still solid. Unfortunately I am not out of the wine. Bummed.
