Wow, very close to my '14 note. Dark and dark red fruits, smoke, and a vegetal, green pepper note. Smooth w/ integrated tannins and ready to go IMO. I don't believe I'd sit on this much more, so I've started ripping through the rest of mine. Cheers.

Three-plus years after my previous review, this seems like it's in a much better place, Solid, with nicely smoky notes and rich fruit, it feels much more "together".

soft, ripe, black cherry nose with touch vanilla is a bit coarse and somewhat vegetal at first, but opens to some pleasant flowery notes and becomes brighter and more velvety after an hour. straightforward, slightly tannic attack with good acidity and a bit thin but ok fruit,hollow middle, and crude finish. a simple wine, but quite drinkable, and might improve.

Ten months after my previous note, and it's even better still. Just mellow, smoky, and pleasantly dusty.
