  This wine seems to get better each year. Notes of dark cherry and licorice on the nose. Dark cherry and other dark fruits with good acidity on finish.

  This showed very well after a 2 hour decant. Much better than the shorter decant we gave the previous bottle so I would suggest opening these early at this point.

  Nice bottle that paired well with some grilled hamburgers. Hints of licorice and raspberry on the nose. Refined tannins that are still present with good acidity. Some cola flavor. Good PnP but improved after 2 hours opening (no decant).

  Drinking so good right now, tasting notes consistent with other notes.
  
  Very approachable pnp, but really opens up an hour plus in. I have never been able to have a bottle make it past 2 hours before its all gone to know if it continues to get better.
  
  My feeling is that the wine is not tight enough to hold together past 3 hours and the wine was made to pnp or a short decant window.
  Not trying to take away from the positive notes, but actually consider this a great first bottle while another that needs time can get the time.
  Cheers
