Decanted for 1 hour.
Beautiful opaque black/purple color. Muted nose of black fruit and alcohol. Upfront cedar notes mixed with mature plum, chocolate and an unknown bitter component. A year ago this wine was a little too astringent now this bottle seems to be a little flabby. Smooth but lacks good acidic balance. Not bad overall but no match for the '93 IMHO. I'm hoping this was just an off bottle. 14.3% Alc/vol.
