Still quite fresh and young. Spent some hours open in the bottle and then 2-3 in a decanter. The lead pencil and tobacco notes are there, but less dominant than in something younger. Getting longer and more mouthcoating as the night goes on, with no sign of slowing down. Looking for more but knowing it'll be there sometime, soon? Kind of an anise note showing up. Orcas NYE

Still firm tannin, medium acid, but great flavor.

At Del Friscos - pepper on the nose, SILKY smooth, complex finish - absolutely wonderful with a pepper-crusted filet.

extraordinary bottle!
the wine is still in deep ruby color, very slight orange rim.
ample notes of red tree fruit, earthy mushroom and forest floor, smoky with leather and pepper notes on the palate. towards the end it is more minerality driven.
special note, the bottle requires quite some air to open up. it was very reserved at first. needs a good 2-3 hours of patience.
This is a wine that shows no sign of aging. It will last effortlessly for another decade or more.
