  Age has done this 2013 well: showing a beautiful garnet color with gorgeous aromas of oak, bramble, black pepper, olive and smoked venison. Some warmth of alcohol on the nose. After some time there emerged notes of earth, tobacco and manure. It is elegant on the palate with velvety tannins and great purity of fruit - flavors of blackberry, smoke and crushed gravel. The finish has subtle notes of spice and eucalyptus.

  Surprised by this one. Drinking well, must of resolved itself. Not bad at all. Good fruit, nice oak treatment, secondary elements coming through. Nice and all around balanced. Pleasant.
  Nose and palette beautiful.

  PnP, with an hour of air time showing a classic nose of dark fruit, smoked meat, olive, and pepper. A tad foxy on the palate, with crabapple notes weaving through tart blackberry, venison, black pepper, and licorice.

  Dark berry and spice with dusty, earthy notes on the nose. Old World style with dark berries and cherry on the palate with a dry smoky finish. Tannins present but smooth. A bit harsh upon opening, but improved dramatically with air. Second day tasting was lovely.
