Not so bright an aroma. The aroma is lightly sour right out of the bottle, and only lightly fruity. Compared to the 2012, the flavor is distinctly less fruity; there's a little bit of whitish fruit, but it's got a different tone. Maybe nutty, although I don't like that descriptor here (but I'm not sure I have a better one). Overall, I like the tones a little better than the 2012 right now.

Muted perfumed berries, pleasantly round. Still a nice picnic wine.
