Still showing tremendous power 11 years on. Could easily go another 11. Quite tight, needed decanting.

My go to tonight was going to be Altamura, but when they were sold out the waiter recommended this. "Best wine she tasted in awhile". When will I ever stop listening to waiter recommendations.?? Weak finish. Could have used a longer decant, but even after an hour it was still pretty flat.
