From magnum, not decanted...drink quickly! A delicate babe whose aromas are sure to fade fast.

Garnet color, aromas of baked cherries, fig and thyme. A smooth fruit forward delicate wine.

Taste great but I bet it would have tasted better a year ago... soft and light tannins.

I've had great luck drinking older bottles that showed well lately--including a fantastic Ridge from the same vintage....but sadly this was a disappointment. Fruit is almost completely gone and time did it no favors. Alas this is one nice benefit of Delectable.....we can be each other's Guinea pigs. The fill was high and the cork was dry but sound. I'd say this is just over the hill and I suggest you pass it off on an irritating in-law, a mortal enemy or an attorney 😉
