Deep ruby color with faint brownish red edge. Intense black fruit that was almost jammy but in a pleasant way. The wine was super concentrated and long on the palate and still moderately tannic. A lovely wine now but it has the structure to last another decade or two.

"Guy's Night": Aged Napa (Joe & Khem's Place, Mpls): Very dark red color with a 1mm clear margin. Splash double decanted . Drank a glass plus over 2 hours. Drank in a flight with '96 Heitz Martha's and '96 Togni. Really quite pretty cassis on the nose, dried wood, hints of menthol, ground spices, and later emerging floral tones. The palate offers a mix of that pretty cassis, tar and scorched earth, more wood notes, tangy blackberry sweet tarts, and spices on a round full bodied frame. Excellent, got better over the two hours.

I did not decant at all and it was wonderful, great to witness its evolution over 2+ hours.

Decanted nearly 4 hours, was excellent but not as memorable as I would have expected.
