Friday, October 20, 2023 - With Jeroen and Isobel, brought this to DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies (a NJ classic). Last bottle from a batch purchsed from Garagiste circe 2009. Decanted and rebottled about 3 hours before drinking.

Notes from 2020: "Nose showing dark cherry, savory, vanilla oak, cedar. Aromas jumped out during the decant. Palate of dark fruits, blackberry, currant, baking spice. Perfumed secondary notes. Medium weight, smooth texture."

This showing had more pronounced blue and dark fruits, blueberry/blackberry and currants. Rich texture and good persistence through the mid palate. Considerably better after the decant - which would be consistent with Randy Dunn wines from Napa. Tight when first opened this was really showing after 3 hours.

Excellent wine and a great spot right now. Staying with Dunn tradition of long lived wines this will still go a while. Its outstanding now - no reason to wait IMO
