375ml. Initially, immediately after opening, this wine displayed aromas of Inquisition dungeon, shower curtain, and despair. However, after 2 hours, that all blew off and other, pleasant aromas of tree bark, coffee, cinnamon, herbs, and pepper, over still fairly lively primary fruit such as red currant, with stewed plum and fig, and bacon. If you can get this vintage in 750ml or larger format, you will be happy. This wine continues to evolve well in the glass so that's it.

Shared the split. Nice, not overoaked, still holding up nicely. A pleasant Halloween wine.
