2023 Napa in the City: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Had been open and I think even decanted for a few hours and still this was a monster wine. Needs a lot more time. Big and lots of dark fruit and again that brooding style. It’s got great potential though.

Serious wine, with a lot of fruit and long finish. Good balance overall, and the wife, who is often pickier than i am, loved it. The bottlehad been in a wine shop (At least recently), so I don't know the historically storage conditions, but it to show some age. Definitely worth considering drinking now, though again, YMMV with storage conditions.

Ripe, OK, very ripe, sweet, round, lusciously textured, full-bodied and loaded from start to finish with layers of opulent black and blue fruits, smoke and espresso.
