A good wine but not much has really changed with this wine from my last experience months ago. Great color, dark rich appealing purple and nose. On the palate, inhibited and muted still. Perhaps the is an old world type of Cali Cab, maybe better days are ahead? Great vintage, surprising showing to this point. 90+ points.
Surprisingly mute, not a whole lot showing for its age. Beautiful rich purple crimson color, but on the palate rather flat and uneventful, literally closed for business despite consumption over a two day period. This one seems to possess the stuffing, but for 2013 vintage it should show more at this point in my opinion. Off bottle? I’ll find out, l have a few more bottles in the cellar. 90-91 points.

Tastes like the 2012: disappointing. Not worth more than $30 a bottle

Although one year later, I had almost the same identical experience with this wine as Yack Man. Just not a lot going on here...Rating is TBD for me...
