Laid this down for ten months and it isn't any less rough, but really I think that's just a reflection of the lower quality. Overall thin and pretty angular, with some solid red fruit but not much else. Passable at best.

Some other reviews say rough to drink but I aerated mine and I did not find it harsh at all. You still have a good balance but agree it coul have more flavor. Could possibly do better over time.

This is indeed rough but it seems to hold promise. Tannins are a bit harsh yet the balance seems decent and there is actually character to the red and dark berry fruit. Curious what some time will do it.

Big step down from the balanced 2012. The aromas are fine- black cherry, plum, cinnamon and other spice. But the alcohol and acid are very rough at this point.

Very harsh leading taste. Also quite thin. This one is a pass.
