  My first of six. Ripe and modern, a bit one dimensional but nonetheless delivers, with delicious blue and black fruit, some bramble and pepper. A touch of heat. Fully mature but should hold for a decade.

  45 minutes double decanted and consumed about 2 hours later with friends at Flemings. This is a big Napa Cabernet, one of those that can cut through a big and fatty Tomahawk!
  
  Everyone at the table loved it.

  3 hour S/O, drank over 3 hours. Saved half for next day.
  Big bold, low acid, soft tannins, black currant, earth tones. Although enjoyable, I decided a few years ago to stop buying this as it lacked complexity and didn’t merit the $175 tariff. It might be worth it today considering the 25% inflation in NV pricing that’s occurred in the past 1-2 years. Still it was an enjoyable bottle and didn’t change on day 2.

  From my bedroom to the fridge (opened) for about 2 hours, then decanted for 1 full hour and placed back in the fridge for about 10 minutes while we finished getting ready to leave to the restaurant...
  
  This wine is a beast, big and bold classic Napa with high tannins and restrained in the fruit department (which contradict my previous statement that is a "classic Napa", but I'm referring to the Napa Cults).
  
  At this stage in its life the wine is a bit tannic still, like most of the 2010’s from Napa, while the long exposure to oxygen helped the wine and don’t think it’s shining at this moment. We took a quarter of the bottle back home and finished by 10pm (around 8 hours after it was opened) and the wine went downhill…
  
  94+ HOLD.

  Failing to heed my own advice, I barely waited a few months to open another bottle, not the few years I had recommended. My impatience was rewarded by a wonderful Cabernet with complexity and a long finish. The wine was somewhat cloudy and an extra bubble of tannin showed up regularly in the finish or it would have merited another point or two.
