Richard, I love your notes; only wished I was there to participate as well.
I'm assuming these were recently bottled. Were they decanted or opened beforehand?

Eric,
Thanks for the kind words. I wish you had been able to be there too.
I think it's safe to say these were fairly recently bottled (D'Oliveras's MO). I don't believe these were decanted, or opened long before they were poured.
