Tasted within a flight of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 vintages. Color for the 2013 was lighter than the other two vintages. Doesn't have the darkness that I would expect of mountain fruit. Initial nose was grassy. Almost like fresh cut grass. Some notes of oak but otherwise soft. Initial taste was dry at the palate but with some sharpness at the roof of the mouth. Fruit appears dampened but the tast was conducted upon Initial opening of the bottle.

From a 375ml bottle. The influence of the barrel is much greater than that of the grapes. So much oak. Other than that it is nicely balanced with a good mouthfeel; not too big or tannic.

Drank from a 375. It was quite a bit better than a 2014 Mount Brave 375 that I had recently. Well balanced and smooth without the oak being overpowering 2 hour decant
