No decanting, just drank over a couple of hours. Very elegant wine, with lots of mainly red fruit. Smells very nice, and the palate is even better, and lasts a long time. The tannins are subdued, not noticible. Very easy wine to drink right now. Delicious wine, too bad only one bottle left now.
Probably better with a juicy, fatty Rib Eye, rather than sipping, as there is some acidity.
