6 hour decant- and it could of used more. Still years away from prime time. Overall a complete wine- balance is starting to reign supreme. This is a 50 year wine candidate.

Strength to strength… a complete, integrated wine at this stage with real upside for the next 7-10 years. Spice, blueberry, nectarine, herbs and a thick texture, juicy sweet and savory tannins, and super long finish ( over a minute and probably the best part)- mouthwatering Oy delicious. Wish I had more.

4 hour decant, perfect balance and a nice finish. Acquired 2 cases from the winery. Apparently only 10-20 cases made. This is likely near its prime but still requires a long decant.

So not sure what wine the other cellartracker notes are referring to, but this special bottling from Mondavi drinks great- plum, dark fruit, a little charcoal dust, great mid palate viscosity, sweet smooth tannins and a super long finish- high class wine...
Better on day 2- fuller, deeper, longer...

clear, ruby in color. dark fruit, oak, pepper, spice on the nose. sweet chocolate, coffee, blackberry on the palate. good acid, good tannins in the finish.
