Did not decant because recent experience with older Cliff Lede cabs have taught us that 2012s might be losing a little, and this one was just starting to in our opinion (drink now). Paired perfectly with a duck-mushroom ragu.

I feel like this has already softened up a bit, maybe too much for what I look for in a N&N bottle. Tannins not nearly as strong, more romantic texture even though 100% cab. Textbook JCS vineyard taste.
