Dinner at a friend's home.

1997 Antinori Solaia - decanted 45 minutes after opening, and started drinking 20 minutes after decanting. Smoky, still got tannins here. A little more fragrant and open. One hour after we started drinking this was sooo nice and elegant. Drinking very well.

1997 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23 - decanted 45 minutes after opening, and started drinking 20 minutes after decanting. Also still pretty tannic. Slightly more sweet on the palate, richer with smoky and grilled meats.

1991 Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain - started drinking 20 minutes after decanting. Minty and still got some sweetness. Ten minutes later this was pretty fragrant and woodsy, and also a little savory. Not bad.
