Still quite dark in color and no browning on edges. After a few minutes to open up, nose of tar and licorice and sweet tobacco with slight hints of eucalyptus. On the palate, tannins slightly overpower at first, but with 3 or so minutes in the glass fruit comes into better balance. This wine is really quite enjoyable with a good mouthfeel and structure. has more time left than i imagined. Nothing spectacular, but certainly an all around nice glass of California Cab based wine.
