Decanted two hours - noticed a good amount of sediment. Wine drank beautifully. Silky smooth, very light bit of sweetness. Even at 14.5% alcohol, you couldn't feel any burn whatsoever. Tannins really well integrated. In its drinking window now and guessing that it will probably last a few years more. Thoroughly enjoyable right now.

Decanted for 4 hours - wine tasted sufficiently aged. Abundant tannins, well integrated. Not sure how much more aging time will help. Not my favorite wine.

3 hour decant - silky smooth. Some pleasant berries detected. Tannins well integrated. Typical and lovely floral margaux.
