Wow - I loved this wine. Smoky, rich, lots of dark fruit but smooth with a lovely balance created by the acidity. Long finish. Drinking really well right now but plenty of life ahead of it.

Herbal, dark fruit, earthy, not green. Grippy and firm on the palate, but more open and rounder than I remember it to be about a year ago. Really spicy with a lingering finish. Showing better than last time. Drink or keep. 90-92

Tasted next to the 2012. Less ripe, more herbal and a little green with slightly hard, drying tannins. Quite tight and restrained. There is good fruit and acidity, so I would give it a bit of time to evolve in bottle. 88-89+(+)

Very tasty, plenty of blackcurrant fruit balanced with a good savoury structure. Perfect now but no rush.
