Decanted for two hours, which took a bit of the tannic sting out of the wine - other than that, consistent with our prior bottle. Lovely if you prefer your Napa bruisers young, but this just needs time.

Decanted 30 minutes before service - not even remotely fair, but so it goes. Bright, youthful purple in the decanter. On the nose, loads of currants and a bit of blueberry. On the palate, just a solid young Napa cab, with ample fruit if not much complexity or secondary aromatics and flavors at this stage, with assertive tannic structure on a long finish. We know it's too young right now, but sometimes, that's what we want.
