Really in a nice spot but requires more open time. Drinking nicely after 3 hours but would recommend longer (5+) or cellaring a few more years to appreciate this big guy.

Double decant. Young, but drinkable. Would benefit from a few more years or more air time. Inky color. Kind of a dusty nose. Medium+ body. Nice balance. Very mild oak. Soft finish.
A day in Napa (Napa Valley, California): The nose is more lifted than the right bank with a real elegance and poise that is backed up by tones of red cherries, red currants, black raspberries, herbs, cedary oak, cigar wrapper, leather, and roses. This a sumptuous nose that shows off more of the refined side of Napa. The Full bodied feel is plush and balanced with medium acidity and silky, medium+ tannins. The structure is a bit deceptive as you almost don't notice it at first and then really notice it on the second or third sip. This is certainly young, but a few more years of age will likely be a benefit to allow everything to fully harmonize.
