Opened and decanted a bottle of 2007. I was afraid it had lost all its fruit when I tried it immediately after decanting and about one hour later, but it opened up beautifully by the time I served it about 4 hours later.

From magnum. Tasted right after regular Napa Duckhorn Merlot. 2016 Most tasters preferred that over the Three Palms. I liked the Three Palms slightly better but it needed more fruit. It seemed muted. Must have been much better several years ago. Creamy, elegant, cherry compote.

Bold, earthy Merlot. Floral aroma; velvety tannin, with flavors of blackberry, dust, minerals. Much better on first day than second day - in its last 1-2 good years.

From Magnum.
Drank over two hours with 90 min. decant.
Great aromatics: baking spice, red currant, blueberry, menthol. Structured but integrated tannins. Fruit lingered on the finish.
All in all a stunning effort and I would say if at peak will remain there for 2-3 years.
