Opened and let breather for about 45 minutes. Needed about an hour and a half to really open. . Soft blue fruit bit not the power of my last bottle of HSS. Medium finish.

S&E Napa Extravaganza (at Home): NOT BLIND
98/97
Decanted for 3 hours.
Dark red and looked far younger than its age. Beautiful ight fruit and wood bark on the nose.
Definitely seems to be in a great spot and the decanting time was perfect. The heat that accompanies Hillside when young was gone and this was rounded.
Still good fruit - red and blue fruits.

Drinking well - 2 hour decant - don’t think holding will make it better
Muted berry notes more dried than fresh with some tobacco / structure and mouthfeel
Still really good

Allowing this 8 hours to decant seemed pretty ideal, though it kept its structure overnight, too.
Fabulous wine and “meant to be” pairing with A5 Ribeye with crispy onions & pomegranate pepper sauce.

Didn't have open very long before opening. Closed off and needed about 2 hours to breathe.
