Not decanted. Poured and drank. Still packed with fruit. Black cherry, black raspberry, plum and vanilla. Tannins mostly faded from sight. However, this wine began to fade noticeably after 45 minutes. The back half of bottle number two had nothing left after an hour and a half. Enjoy soon, and don't decant or let it sit around too long.
