Baby killer!!!

Anne made me open this on Christmas, as she wanted to try out an airating decanter funnel and a Clef du Vin "toy" that is supposed to tell you how a wine would age. This wine became the drinking game experiment wine to see if it really works (I doubt it, but she swore that she could tell a difference). Anyway, what a monster blockbuster of a wine. As one would expect, it is huge right now and the tannins were substantial. Dark purple to red, decanted throughout evening. Dark fruits -- black plum and blackberry predominant -- with some earthy flavors. About 1/3rd of the bottle sat in the decanter open until the next morning. Only then did it really shine. Liquid velvet, beautiful fruit, tannins had started to melt away. We polished it off before breakfast. I'll buy more to let it sit for 10 years. FWIW, WS 87, W&S 90, and WE 93 (Cellar Selection-- said drink to 2020).
