The nose on this was intoxicating as was the palate despite this being a big powerful & dense wine. Will be awesome to see what this is in 10 years! Loved it.

Opened my last ‘13 tonight after a disappointing showing of my 2nd of 3 last week. ‘13’s are shot. Ordered direct from winery & cellared since so no provenance issues. ‘14 much better! But, also on the down slide so drink up.

Last of my 3 bottles & 2nd in the past week. Purchased direct from winery & cellared since. Past it’s prime & in a downside. Not very enjoyable, very disjointed & flabby. My 3/30 bottle was not good. Tonight was better but still not Aubert quality. Opened a ‘14 to follow this & it was measurably better. Wonder if ‘13 was just not a long lived vintage. Still thankful for the opportunity.
