January 18, 2020 - With Doug and Debbie at the Nassau Club in Princeton. Decanted prior to going and rebottled, was open about an hour before drinking
Consistent w/prior notes: "Vibrant, dark ruby color. Nose showing dark fruits, cassis, truffle, floral notes. Dark berries, blackberry, plum, tannins, oak. Supple texture, nice secondary notes. Tannins are fined and sweetened. Full bodied, long finish...."
Really great on this evening. Would try to allow for longer decant next time. Wine continued to improve over course of drinking -

March 17, 2019 - At Roka with Juan and friends. Good excuse to open a PNV wine, in my cellar from release...Splash decanted, let air for about 20 minutes before drinking
Vibrant, dark ruby color. Nose showing dark fruits, cassis, truffle, floral notes. Dark berries, blackberry, plum, tannins, oak. Supple texture, nice secondary notes. Tannins are fined and sweetened. Full bodied, long finish.
Classic To Kalon fruit, still youthful. In a great spot but will go for some time from here (10+ years?). Really well made wine from Mondavi, glad I have a few more bottles...
