As a matter of taste, it has a beautiful fruit layer that covering different ends of the spectrum, mixed with different spices. These old Napa wines are always a real treat.

  Thinking about a double decant. One hour in a decanter, than pouring it back into the bottle and surprising my best man with the bottle as we go for an early morning fishing trip.
  
  Any thoughts?

I tasted it with Robert Pavlovich and Wine-strategies, whom you messaged regarding the decant time. I concur with them. Your bottle might have different evolution profile than the one we had, so I would suggest to pour it in the decanter, taste it, and decide if you want to leave it in the decanter for an hour.
  
  Personally, for my preference, I would not leave the wine in the decanter. I would briefly double decant the bottle a few hours before dining, cork it back, and enjoy the wine over an hour or two at dinner.
