1hr+ decant. Wine really changed through the course of the night. Went from floral to port to tannic. Started out nice then evolved to complex then to strange and then went downhill. I’d drink soon and be careful of decanting too long. I was at 94 and then dropped to 91, so 92.5 and rounding up :)

Leftovers:)....sometimes I hate when I'm right! Air did amazing things for this baby. After 22hrs the fruit was popping, it was much bolder, but still silky smooth. Upgrading my score substantially!
