January 18, 2021 - I opened the 2013, along with a 2012, and used the Coravin for the 2014-2015-2016 for a 5 year vertical. Very interesting. I then opened the later years over the course of the next 10 days. Favorite 2014 - first night from Coravin I thought - good potential with solid bones. 2012 Still lovely but ready, 2015-2016 - very good and will hold. The 2013 was like it came from a different vineyard. It was still very good, but in terms of mouth feel, texture and richness, it was almost a little heavy. By itself, and with a richly sauced meal, or just for sipping, it was heavenly. With the other vintages, it was a bit of a bull in the china shop.
