Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 - I gave this a 30 minute decant, then decanted back into the bottle, where it got another 3 hours or so of slow O. Needed every minute of that, based on my initial impressions upon opening prior to heading out for dinner. Rich nose of black cherry, with some vanilla and cedar. Smooth on the palate, with some blackberry liquor. This struck me as slightly out of balance, with a more tannic finish than I would have expected. I think it suffered a bit following a flight of aged red burgs and then an '87 Biondi Santi Brunello, all of which showed far more nuance and restraint. Still, a great example of Napa cab.
