Last bottle and this one drank the finest. A big blast of new oak upon opening (36 months on wood) which at age 19 is showing this was heavy handed. With about an hour decant the fruit which is plentiful has a chance to come alive and this turned out to be quite serviceable. Lots of extraction and power more heavy metal than a classic rock -pretty indicative of mid 90's Cali in a big style. Worked well with grilled beef steaks this evening. I don't see much improvement from here -so time to drink if you have any
