  15.6% abv. Recent auction purchase.
  Really, really youthful, with upfront oak notes and a mouthful of dark, dense, fruit. Lots of herbal notes - not at all reminiscent of typical Napa Cabernet. Not much definition at this point - it's kind of muddled. Plenty of medium-coarse tannin as well. Really an interesting flavor profile, but this is so painfully young right now that I didn't find it enjoyable. Recommend to hold 4 or 5 years before cracking open another one, at least for my palate.
