Hasn’t improved with time. This vintage of the Bernier-Sibary just wasn’t appealing, IMO.

Nice dark fruits. Very tasty. Always good from this vineyard
I'm a big fan of DC Zins but the 2013 Bernier-Sibary just doesn't have enough fruit to carry the 15.1% alcohol, which dominates. I don't think that further aging is going to help.
Love this one. I get Cocoa, warm spice and some cherry on the nose. Mild tannins with tart cherry and spice and a moderately long finish.
I think it needs a little more time in the bottle.
Great nose - big fruit, yet nice tannins
Nice chewy amarelle cherries with lovely spiciness.
Nice fruit but very rough right now. Needs to some time to find itself.
Tobacco, rich black fruit. Long rich finish. Full, a bit bitter on finish. Good.
