Opened a 3rd bottle tonight and let it decant for about 2 hours. It was amazing! Great nose, medium to full body. One more left to go, finger crossed

This is the second bottle of 4 that I've opened, which I've been cellaring for years and they both had the same characteristics. When you uncork the bottle, both had a nice color and great nose, typical California Cab. Tried from the bottle and also decanting for 60 minutes. Once you pour into a glass and drink this wine it's very "flat" for a lack of a better word. With such a nice nose, it's a real let down when you take your first sip and expect this wine that would be bursting with flavor and tannins, but you don't get that. You get this flat taste and say to yourself......Oh that's OK.
