Deep dark garnet color with no signs of bricking. Great nose of currants, blackberries and a little cedar. Full bodied with well integrated tannins. Flavors of licorice, blackberries and some minerality. Long finish. This is still a baby. Decanted for two hours and it was still somewhat closed. I recommend decanting for 4-5 hours. Another 15-20 years of ageing potential.

This 2013 is drinking. We did not decant it but let it sit in the glass for about 30 minutes. Full body mouth feel. Taste of leather. Spice and blackcurrent. Looking forward to drinking the 2016! #Florasprings

Lovely; still has tons of freshness for 6+ years of age; can hold at least 4-5 more years. Medium tannin, medium-high acid, lots of beautiful red fruit and juicy character. Served with a charcuterie grazing board at a cocktail party and it was perfect.
