I lied! In my last posting notes I stated that I would wait to consume this LAST bottle of the 2013...sorry, consumed tonight. Regarding tasting notes I stay with my last tasting note (no changes - except the additional aging DID help). Sorry that this is my last bottle of this vintage, but Kelly's cabs (especially for the price) are excellent.

I keep posting tasting notes on this wine...i guess because it has interesting characteristics. Aromas of very dark fruit (think blackberries and cassis) with matching flavors, but add a tint of chocolate. It took the wine about an hour to open up, but when it did it was very pronounced. Kelly Fleming's wine appear, now, that I have several laid down, age longer than I expected. I will hold these (especially this 2013) for at least another 2 - 3 years, but it will run longer than that.

This is a good wine, normally I like this wine more. I decanted for two hours prior to serving. It was barely starting to come around by the end of the night. Compared to the last time I had this wine (a little over a year ago) it seems a bit muted and shut down. Likely needs more time to come back around. Will revisit in another year perhaps.
