  From Magnum: Decanted for sediment and left untouched for about an hour. Nose of leather and some herb, cassis and sour cherry. Palate definately shows some age. Good medium mouthfeel, cherry profile bordering on the sour side but not unpleasant. This appears to be mature and ready to go.

  My wife and I bought this bottle 6 years ago, on our first trip to the Napa Valley together. 4 years later we got engaged at Keenan. So what better time and place to open it than a Wednesday night at Wilson in Culver City? Some oak, some sour cherries (almost like a young Sta Rita Hills Pinot), mild leather and earth, a bit of tannin on the finish.
