Decanted and served with dinner. Great bouquet and mature, fully integrated, rich. Lost intensity after about 2 hour decant, so would not recommend decant for this one.

I was concerned it might be too early for the 2002, but the wine tasted fully mature. Tannins are integrated and broken down completely. A little on the rustic side for Napa, a hint of tomatoes, good, but far from great. Drink it up.

Dark fruit, earthy with little to no tannins.
