In magnum. Closed when first opened after 30 minute decant it became incredible. The aggressiveness of this wine is gone and it has mellowed and integrated into a beautiful Paso syrah.

Past prime, but still great. Smoke and black tea with chocolate and raspberry notes. Pipe tobacco finish. Lovely.
