We just had this with round 3 with the Thanksgiving leftovers, and this is the wine I SHOULD have opened on Thursday. Even ignoring my own mantra of "decant, decant, decant," we started sneaking tastes right after pulling the cork, and liked it right away. Good depth of flavor, dry earth and rose petals, floral notes. We were still well under an hour when we ate supper and the wine started to open. Should've waited, as after about an hour and ten, this wine was full-blown perfect for the meal. Dried fruits, violets, smokey/woody... so good. My hands-down fave of Mr. Baker's, and the one I'll buy again.
