375 ml bottle, very hard to get cork out. More subdued than the 2013. Good structure and weight, somewhat muted nose, slight burned rubber. Nothing wrong with it, just not exciting. Went well with fish stew and beans with chorizo. Is this wine in a dumb phase? I seldom drink wine from 375 bottles, so not sure if that plays a role. would hold and see if it opens up in a few years

What a delicious wine. Particularly good in the Alabama heat. Sadly it's the only bottle of this in my cellar. Will look to buy more.

Even just a little bit of time (since I last tasted it) has allowed it to open up and broaden out. This is going to be spectacular.

Richer, with more red berry fruit than the Ax point. Delicious through and through.
