  This wine is a bit closed and primary. Dark red fruit, spice, tobacco, and earth is vibrant with dense tannin still needing time to round out. This wine is in the stage where it is transforming from a young bruiser into older age elegance.
  
  Hold until 2026 or later

  Halfway through the first glass, my lips got a burning, tingly sensation, then my tongue. I stopped drinking and it went away. Took another sip and it came back. Not sure what to make of that, as I’ve never experienced that before - with a wine or any other food. My wife didn’t have that reaction, so she enjoyed the bottle by herself. Odd...

  Dang. This one was fruity, but not sweet. It was popped, waited about 30 minutes while we were finishing up a bottle of Paradigm Merlot. Not decanted. This wine was very expressive in the glass. Lots of young just ripened blueberry and blackberry jam. The palate was all dark black fruits, a full bodied cab, with a slightly flinty mid-palate and blackberry cassis. There was a definite herbal component to this wine that was most noticeable in the finish, and this wine is very young so I expect these herbaceous notes to really start integrating in the next 3-4 years. Quite a bit of young oak on the finish. It's a bit young for this wine but it's still drinking well now and very very worthy of the 92 rating. Will be a 94 at maturity, which is NOT 2013.......is definitely 2014-15 starter with a 2022 finish. Hold this one unless you like more of a jammy yet not too sweet cab.
