Actually 2013. Dark cherries, cedar, spice. A lovely wine as a wonderfully subtle accompaniment to, yes!, Cold Cucumber Cream Soup with fresh Dill. And a bit understated accompaniment to grilled steak and roasted corn. But wait! Dark Chocolate Sea Salted Caramels!! Knock your socks off!

Way better than the previous bottle which was definitely corked. This wine was delicious although it really did not go well with the tomatillo sauce in the homemade enchiladas. Nose and entry of black cherry cola kind of clashed. Alone, the wine is absolutely delicious and highly worthy of 94. I really am not sure that this will appreciate with more time in bottle bit this is definitely going, so it likely will.

Deep dark center, red rim with modest signs of age. Sweet and creamy, cooked plums, tobacco, piñon, dust and blackcurrants. Smooth, plums and blackcurrants, rosemary, touch of banana and blue cheese, good acidity and solid tannins, nice finish of fruit and greenness. Drinking well now but will be better in 3+ years.

Corked. Initially, it really just seemed like it was a little bit off and had a funky finish, so we decided to hold and wait. After about 3 hours, there was no doubt that it was definitely corked!
