PnP. On open, i get a lot of jam, juice and berry rather than smoke or leather. On the palate, it seems to be a lighter, well-structured, more refined ps than you sometimes get out of cali. More blueberry, blackberry, bittersweet chocolate with a long spicy finish. I didn't get a huge tannic bite either, though the tannins are definitely there. This will probably improve for a few more years, but i'd drink it this decade.

A little raisiny at first. Drank much better on day 2. Better with food - it complemented a tri tip well.

Plumb and other dark fruit, raisins, black cherry. Serious tannin.

Fantastic PS with excellent QPR. I'm glad I bought 6 bottles.
