  Friday Night Brown Bagger (J&J's): Double blind. Dark color. Aromas of blackberry, a touch of oak spice, herbs and moleasses. Full-bodied, with firm tannin and flavors of black fruit, licorice and something a little jammy in the finish. Excellent. (J&J)

  Double decanted two hours before service. Opaque purple with no sign of ageing. Vanilla on the nose. Tannic and very tight, which loosened up with air over time. Definitely still very young. It could benefit by another five years in the bottle.

  Drank this a while back. This was a really nice bottle of wine. While I drink most of my Napa wine in the 3-7 year range, I do prefer Far Niente with some bottle age. Exceptionally smooth with cassis, blackberry, dark cherry and tobacco on the finish.
