Monday, May 5, 2014 - -- double decanted 1.5 hours before dinner; ultimately poured about 3 hours after decanting --
-- tasted a couple pours non-blind over approx. 1.5 hours --
Nose was obviously Napa Cab --- ripe purple fruits, a touch floral, and some light-to-moderate oak. Ripe on the palate, but not gloppy; smooth; 14.8% alc. is well-hidden; medium-light oak --- I was pleasantly surprised at how well the oak is integrating at this time; shows very young. Impressive showing. I will continue holding my other bottle.
