Dark fruits on the nose and palate. This was more savory than the '13 Lytton Springs opened alongside, with a better mouthfeel as well. Last bottle and certainly on the back nine of its life. Pleasant surprise as I wasn't expecting much from this.

Not sure if the recent positive notes are indicative of having a slightly off bottle but I was not a fan of this wine. Very big and ripe and alcoholic out of the gate with jammy red fruit, a bit of prune, sweet oaky notes and a bit of nail polish remover on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate with an over ripe sweetness to the finish that I found not to be enjoyable. Also, not really much structure in this wine so certainly not something I would still be holding onto. Wish I had drank this 5+ years ago.

Much bigger and more interesting than the prior bottle. Great stuff and likely a long life ahead. Quite Cobernet-ish in features, too, maybe form the mountain tannin?
