Not showing as well as last time (when I rated 96) - but still a very good wine. Gave 3 hours of air before consuming. This wine, like several other '19s I have tried, seems to have closed down a little. I will wait a few years before consuming my last bottle. ( I Should have listened to Michigan Dogs!)

Gave this about 2 hours of air in the bottle and served around 60F.
This is such an opulent and pleasurable wine. I absolutely love LPV and this wine continues to show incredibly well. My last bottle was about 9 months ago and since then, the tannins have continued to soften leaving a very velvety mouthfeel and wonderful finish. This wine has no flaws and puts on a show with everything working in total harmony around the 3 hour mark.
This wine is racy and flirts with being a touch ripe, but we paired this with steaks and it was absolutely the right choice. Not a lot of wine will scratch the LPV itch like this one!
3 hour decant and this bottle was perfect. I've read the 2019s are approachable but wow, this one definitely was. The Quivet LPV is as hedonistic as one can get in Napa Valley. The tannins were gritty and in perfect harmony with the fruit. Based on how well it drank now I question its longevity but right now its just fantastic.
