Dark and intense fruit with a bit of oak influenced spice. Medium to full body on the palate. Long and lingering finish, balanced from beginning to end.

This vintage is continuing to impress me with its nice balance. There is certainly not the fruit presence of '12 but overall this one interests a bit more. Red and blue fruit spectrum here. Well integrated oak component and tannins that are a bit astringent but calm down over the course of a few hours.

Drinking wonderfully right now with a good long decant. Mountain fruit showing bright and DEEP. Good concentration and, as usual with Hill Family, plenty of well balanced oak.
Very nice.
