July 26, 2015 - Perfect right now. Fruity, smooth, wonderful. It's really mellowed out and settled down.

May 23, 2013 - Deep ruby color with a solid core. Bouquet is slightly floral, but also shows blueberry, banana and menthol. Palate is medium-bodied, with some bramble, blueberry and bing cherry on the tail end. The tannins are well integrated but a touch green. The acidity is a bit high, and seems out of balance with the rest of the wine. Either it needs more time or just doesn't have the level of complexity I was expecting.
