Decanted one hour and then drank over the next hour. This is in a very good stage right now. The last bottle I had was 3 years ago and showed promise but was fairly closed. This bottle was ready for business. Red fruit, mostly cherry, with some plum flavors, along with some earth and just a hint of leather. Tannins were definitely present but in balance. No rush on these but well worth opening one now if you desire.
