December 9, 2014 - Yowsa! Another great experience! Only a rough 88 on first pop again, but give it a two hour decant and you won' be sorry. Way oxidized on first pop, then somehow it revives itself with some oxygen, becomes fresher (?) and is a real knockout! With these premium 15-20 year old Napa reds, patience is a virtue - they still need time to open...

August 5, 2014 - After one hour decant. The alcohol is blowing off now. The nose is of black plum and blackberry, with strong cinnamon and clove spice character. Rather simple on the palate. The fruit is subdued, but in front still, with a mid-palate of powerful clove. The medium length finish is a mild, bitter dark chocolate. The bitterness becomes sour at the very end. The tannins are still present, but minimal and the acidity is still medium high. I was disappointed by the texture. The mouth-feel was a touch watery. This is a few years past its prime. This is not tasting oxidized yet. Still enjoyable and will definitely pair well with the beef that will be accompanying it.
