  Decanted two hours before, still much too young, firm, closed, intense blackberry here, vertical structure, solid tannin. Hold, hold.

  Battle of the Bastards. I mean battle of the best! Chateau Pavie 2009, Harlan 2009, Schrader CCS 2013 and Schrader CCS 2019. New Years Eve celebration and the wines were all amazing. Except for the Schrader CCS 2019, all were in their prime drinking window. The Schrader CCS 2019 was very good -- it just needs a couple of years and/or a looooong decant. All wines were decanted for 2-3 hours and all of them got better as the night went on.
  
  Of note, when I tried this at home before venturing out for NYE, the PnP was 100 points. It began to shut down as the night went on, so lot's of upside.
