  In my view this is tasting young with plenty of life ahead - certainly fruit and oak rounding out a dark tobacco cab palate. Plenty of tannin and I didn’t feel anything was missing - though there is a touch of heat.
  
  Maybe other tasters are right and it’s on its last legs - but that’s not my impression at all. I think this is halfway there and will be better as the fruit and oak integrate.

  4th Saturday group uptown tasting (M&R's): Double blind. Perfumed and bright, with blackberry, cherry and raspberry as well. Dark fruit, spice and plum with a medium+ finish. Starts to show some alcoholic heat as it sits. Guessed Napa cab sauv.

  Pnp cold out of the chiller....dark, dark ruby in the glass with a narrow medium ruby edge. Nose is somewhat restrained with a sweet floral/fruit mix (rose petal/violet?) component. Entry is mid weight on the palate, plenty of dark red berries, smooth integrated tannins with a touch of oak, dark chocolate and some mild menthol at the end. There is some acidity left to cover perhaps another 2 years.
  
  An hour in, with the wine warming to room temp.....a little bit of lead pencil/briar emerges, the red fruit darkens a little more and a very faint oxidative dark plum/raisin emerges. A nice wine but not much depth nor many layers there. Just a tad flat.
