P&P; Rich and full of black fruit. Black cherry and cassis with secondary flavors of tobacco, espresso and vanilla. Tannins were surprisingly mild for a 2016 DuBrul Cab, and this went down quickly and easily. In a good place I think...drink now - 2031.

Not what I expected after having had the 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2013 vintages. Fruit is there on the palate but also dusty dry on the finish. Feels like the wine is trying to be 2 things at once and not succeeding at either. Maybe 2 or 3 years in the bottle will resolve this.
