1 hour decant(lots fine/cloudy sediment). A remarkable dark magenta color. On the nose: expressive notes of dark cherry/plum, cassis, mushrooms, smoked meat, cedar, touch of eucalyptus. Taste: silky, luscious, layered wine with dark fruit, currants, pencil lead, chocolate espresso, smokey earth, spiced cedar/tar medium plus finish with a slight tannic kick. YUM! Their first RP100 rating and had to try at year 10...drinks well with the decant and will be fun to see where this will go....fortunately have more bottles.
