  Blind wine tasting with 6 other Bordeaux and Napa reds. Decanted 750 ml bottles for 3 hours. Still tight, acids and tannins out of balance with the fruit. Not a crowd pleaser compared to the others that night. A 2013 Joseph Phelps Insignia imperial magnum, for example, was tasting much better with balance and integration. Will see how the Lokoya does with more time.

  Decanted through a coffee filter for 2 hours, with lots of heavy sediment removed. Very good, but still pretty tightly wound. I think this might need another 5 years or more. That, or a heck of a lot longer decant.

  I wasn't sure what to expect of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Mount Veeder, and gave it a long 3-hour+ decant. It's a beautiful wine, powerful but not overwhelming. The nose is a bit spicy, hinting at the complexity to come. Notes of red fruit, berries, and forest floor. I appreciate a long and changing finish on a cult Cab, and this does not disappoint. Parker raves about the 2013 vintage, and this is going to get better and better over time.
