The first sample, immediately after corking and before decanting, was fantastic--interesting aromas of cherry pie, smoke, earth and bandaid. But those wafted away during the decant and 30 minute wait for service, leaving a wine that was tasty-mature but somewhat dull. We either drank too soon or too late--will never know, it was my only bottle.

Drank too late. Never, ever decant mature burgundy in advance, the risk is too big.
BTW, 1990 was the last vintage when I bought Rion, I think they have gone downhill since. (Although I must confess I have not had a single bottle made after Patrice left in 2001, tired of fighting with his brothers.)
