January 4, 2015 - I think we waited too long. Simple, fruity, and not much tannins. Lacking in mouth feel but perhaps it was never there?

January 23, 2014 - Consistent with my 2012 note. This bottle had a bit more spicy aromas. Tannins well integrated. Finish a bit longer with some bite. Went well with pasta.
