Fruit is fading fast. Limited nose left. Nice finish but almost tastes diluted at this stage. Should have drank this last year

This is phenomenal - cloves and a hint of tobacco with a really dry finish. I don’t get any berry after 1.5 hrs of decant.

Bought at the tasting room. Reviews showed sold out. Later bought on winery WEB site. 30+ dollars and drinks like a $100+ ,like I would know what that's like. So smooth, not too much tannin. With cheese at happy hour, then with pasta w/mushroom sauce. Just getting to know Napa.
Easily stands on it's own.
