Hi Christopher,

I am not Dale, but I have had this Bosconia GR 1981 twice and I have found
quite an irregularity between them. One was great, the other was too
acidic. Other friends that have drunk them also reported variability.

In the good bottle, I did not decant, and it grew and grew in the glass for
more than half an hour. I would not decant, but enjoy swirling in the
glass.

All the best,

s.
