Dark crimson, weighty and ripe Grenache. Red and black licorice, wild cherry. Probably showed better a few years ago. Too much tannin now for the remaining fruit, but who knows as it still has some life and aging potential ahead of it.

Juicy fruity... Bright with fruits that are starting to stew. Tannins are present and still have a bite but are overall well integrated. Enough fruit to continue to hide the alcohol. Drinking at peak or past, no need to hold on to this one.

Darker fruit than the 2013. Nose (and palate) is more juice and less candy. My favorite of the 2013-2015 vintages right now. Very drinkable at the present time.

Bright raspberry, red cherry, and plum fruit up front. Has some smoky notes on the mid-palate with cracked pepper and mocha. Medium acidity and finish, nice wine.

Maybe a bad bottle. It was not drinkable.
