Some could rightly argue that this wine has not reached its peak of maturity, but I had a bottle recently at a restaurant and it was drinking beautifully.  The wine has a big California bouquet of blackberry and campfire smoke, with layers of fruit and moutcoating tannin on the palate.  The wine has a long finish.  Thoroughly enjoyable if you like big cabs.  If you want your tannins softer, let it sit for another year.
