Road 13 Fifth Element Vertical - 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016: Had blind as part of a Road 13 Fifth Element Vertical. All the wines had dark colour and a lot of similar taste characteristics. All wines were double decanted for two hours.
The nose was muted at first, but opened up as the evening progressed. There is some subtle green pepper, and alcohol. The wine impressed with its richness and nuances - and kept getting better - it was the glass you kept going back to out of the four.
Ranked 1 out of 4.
