Despite being somewhat blown away by the 2013 ERA we also drank tonight, we all enjoyed this wine too. Less complex and powerful than the ERA, but a pleasing balance of ripe dark cherry.

This gets better with time. Probably should have been decanted, as it opened even more on the second glass, but simply spectacular wine. It easily beat 2010 Cain 5, with pleasing nose, an initial powerful rush of dark berries beautifully integrated and exceptionally smooth.

This is at/past peak, so no need to wait. Ripe red fruit and nicely balanced.

Excellent wine. Smooth, rich, not overpowering.

Again, I did not decant (will next time) but this is rich, smooth with a long finish.
