Excellent. Very soft and approachable right now, even without decanting it. Ripe black cherry and blackberry with a touch of toasty vanilla and crushed rock.

Good aroma, with dark fruit, some sweet berries, and oak, I think. The flavor is a little brighter, dark in the middle, and has a fruity finish. Tannins are on the mild side, but wake up a bit as the wine opens up.

At the winery: Bit lighter, floral, more elegant, better balance than the '12. Fruit with dusty minerals, some dry herbs--slight fennel note. Great stuff. G/Car/S/CS. 8 mo. Fr oak.
