from 375ml. Initial decanter nose of prunes and dark chocolate, then later ripe plums. Good midpalate intensity and finish, although seems fairly one-dimensional. A couple of years ago this had more youthful purple color, now is more ruby in color with slight bricking at the rim. I have 2 left in this format and will be drinking them up sooner rather than later. 88 pts.

Thanks for the note, I've got some of these but can't remember when the last time I've had one. Looks like I need to crack one and see if the 750's are holding up a little better than the halves.

I look forward to trying this again too, but I'll probably wait until it turns 20.
