2003 | Birthday weekend for my lovely wife.
Green on the nose, is there substantial Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot for the last 25%? Cedar-y cherry notes to the palate, but short finish. Will more air rescue this bottle...?🤞 Double decanted with notes at 5H. (Drink 2005-2007?)
Paired to USDA Prime Strip Steaks (baseball-cut), Allen Bros. Chicago.

Matured flavor but still tannic initially. But later on, change a lot. Aroma also, oak, warmup, tobacco. Fruity, into thick. Still changed. Completely different from young vintage. 2003 @3850, Eva - , 221218-230119
