Needed 1.5 hours of air to open up and to let a bit of funkiness (kind of mildewy) blow off. After that this was very interesting. Eucalyptus, mint, stewed tomato, a bit of chocolate. Still some good acidity there despite the age. Very much alive. Fun wine to experience that's lighter on the fruit spectrum but still very complex - characteristic of old napa (vs new)
