This had a deep, savory, slightly austere tone. Not much fruit to the profile - came across as more of a brooding, intellectual wine vs. something outright fun-to-drink. Interesting though, and nothing awry per-se. Still quite big and firm, ageing well and nothing faded. Seems well-integrated and showing what it has. Not sure if it will get much better.
Held up well on the 2nd day, but still so dark and brooding.

This was an "old school" cab that didn't blow your socks off with high alcohol and "heat". It was delightful! Very "gentle" and a pleasure to enjoy.
