Decanted, aerated, and enjoyed. Everything in place, a really nice wine. Just a touch muted all around. No need to rush remaining bottles but this is in a good place.

Judgement of Exchange Arcade: California vs Bordeaux (RA's take): Bright strawberry nose. Rich red and black fruit, morelo. Very nice. Still seems young and score could improve or there is not as much complexity beyond the finely balanced fruit. 92 for now

Dark rust red color with limited thinning at the rim. Aromas of red berries, cedar, vanilla and a hint of licorice. Palate is red and blueberry fruited with cedar, tar, and a bit of walnut. Tannins emerge on the medium-long finish. This is showing more structure than the last bottle from fading memory, but still a wine I would consider to be drinking in its prime window for my tastes. Drink.

Still on the fence on this one. Less tannic than previous bottles, but a bit cloying
