Rich and full bodied. I decanted it for 4 hours and it was a lot better than the last bottle. Amazing structure after 16 years. Would get more in the future. Nutty and spicy.

Spicy and hot and has a weird chemically flavor when first opened. Maybe too much oak? It was rather unpleasant. But all of that was gone the next day. It was delicious and really opened up. Next time I’m planning to decant it and see what is the sweet spot. My guess is decant at least 6 hrs. Maybe 8? Got it at auction.

I loved it. Also had at Bern's. Full, oakey. Pairs great with the delicious steak we had. 10/10 would get again

Color is dark red. Red fruit on the nose. Tar. Cedar/pine resin. Lots of elegant tannins.
