  Could tell there is something special here, but had at a restaurant and could only decant for 1.5 hours. Feels like it needed a few more hours or many more years laying down.
  
  Nose was beautiful, although not fully open.
  
  When drinking it was not overly tannic but was certainly tight. With each sip over a two hour dinner being better than the last.
  
  The 2016 with a 4 hour decant (v the 2018 with a 1.5 hour decant) was a completely different experience.
  
  This has potential to be incredible, but we should be patient.

  Great nose. Velvety smooth finish. Excellent with a steak. I did decant for about 5 hours and it needed it.

  With 4 hour decant, this blend was solid. Plum and velvety with floral pipe tobacco and earth on the nose. Full body and well balanced. Nice and long on the palette. Good depth!

  2023 Napa in the City: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Way way way too young of course but it has a lot of potential. One of the years with a bit more Cabernet franc which I really like. Looking forward to seeing how our bottles are in 30 years.
