Not impressed, but it's still a good-very good wine. Still plenty of tannin (so can probably still age), but the texture is smooth. I doubt this will improve. Not much fruit....just some dark cherry....oak still dominates the palate. No bricking, no secondary characteristics...a monolithic wine at this point in time. 86-87 pts. This makes last night's wine even more impressive.
