Very nice with lots of fruit forward components (nose, palate, finish) with licorice and smoke notes. Friendly tannins and acidity provide balance and structure. My 2013 heat note on the finish has subsided over the past two years. The finish is now silky and enduring.

Similar notes to last year's bottle, but with this bottle the heat is totally integrated. Finish last 40 seconds and ends with a note of spice. This wine is drinking quite nicely, but will still sing for another 10 - 15 years!

Dark purple and full bodied, this is a rich wine with black cherry, flint and mocha notes. Excellent with spicy food.
