Interesting notes - seem to go back and forth between great and past its prime. I had a foot in both camps. It showed its age, with some secondary notes, some bricking on the edges, and a shorter finish. For me, I’d say drink these within seven years of vintage. But, it was an interesting wine that made for good conversation about the age ability of modern Napa. Good and bad.

At it’s peak, but on it’s way down, drink in the next 3-5 years

Can last another 10 years. Not much decanting needed.

silky smooth tons of fruit but lacks tannin and structure to keep rein in the richness. Drinks fat.
