Gorgeous nose, integrated tannins and nice balance, slight leather, dried herbs, soft vanilla, and still quite youthful fruit for a nearly decade old wine. At the Nam's for a pre-11th Wedding Anniversary dinner before our trip to JeJu next week.

from a PNP, took a bit to show it’s stuff, revealing a lovely array of fruit, earth and spice, plum, cassis, currants, sweet spice on the very long finish, classic stags leap here.

Slow oxed for a few hours, then decanted for an hour prior to dinner. Almost no sediment. Clean clear but deep garnet color. Nice fruit and some fresh acidity that avoids Cali jam. In the drinking window but will improve over next 3-7 years.

Decanted about an hour before. Nice soft feel, plenty of dark berry, low tannin from the start. Has aged very well.
