A half bottle.
Lesson 1.Next time stand it up.
Huge amount of sediment, and decanting it after pulling it out from a rack only got rid of a fraction; lots of grains in the glass. Color was good, solid crimson, a touch of mahogany. A gorgeous nose of dark fruit, all spice and the beginnings of some tertiary mushroom aromatics. So easy on the palate. Did not last very long; delicious, and with a deceptively long finish. Next time, two halves, so I can see how it develops. 92
