Saturday, October 22, 2022 - Decanted one hour and 20 minutes. Tasted and thought it didn’t need more air so poured back in the bottle. Poured half glasses 45 minutes later. Now it is like butter. So smooth and round but much softer than I imagined. Not tannic at all. I don’t see how more ageing helps this wine. Some barnyard, Old world nose that no Napa wine can duplicate. Keep trying Napa.
