The IWR and Vinous TNs are directionally accurate, pretty solid stuff with better aromatics than taste (a bit mono-toned), but still pleasant enough. Faded a bit on Day 2.

A nose of some funk and spice, garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red blend, with black cherry, plum, some spice on disjointed finish. www.winelx.com

2013 Hmmmmm. But strangely enough on first opening showing major tannins. Second night, still lurking but abated. The fruit is coming thru now but this is not really a pleasant situation. I got this on a close out. Wicks is a good house but I think this might be a failure. I am not sure it is going to go any where from here BUT I bought 2 bottles so, I will let the other one go a year and see what happens. For you, probably a "stay a way."
