Awesome sauce. As with all the D&R wines, it's bright and fresh upon opening, but only starts to show its true depth of character after 3 hours in the decanter. Then you get the full package - deep plum, cranberry, orange, leather and peach, all with great acidity and notable palate weight. If you're not giving these time, you're missing out. Also, years to go... Thanks @Hardy Wallace !
