Old Napa! Tobacco, earth and some funk. I wouldn't say muted fruit because I believe it was made in that style originally. 1 hour decant. Still enjoyable.

Cherry blossom on the nose in addition to black pepper and a hint of licorice on the tongue. A spicy finish that softened up after 3 hours of open air. Very enjoyable but not overly complex.

Rich cassis, with hints of cedar and tobacco. Gritty tannins and extract today outweigh fruit and concentration. Hopefully a few more years will turn things around.

The fruit is a bit tired, the wine not so vigorous. Still pleasant enough. Drink up.

Decanted for an hour. Could have used a couple more.
