Well I conavined The 2013 because it was my last one. And I’m rating it slightly higher than I did seven years ago. It’s really a nicely balanced wine with a surprising level of fruit. It is dark, but not overly full. Not sure why I kept hesitating to open this last bottle, it’s really quite good
Don't forget to let this breathe and come up to drinking temperature ! What started flat ( my bad) ended up so enjoyable. Nice fruit aromas give way to earthy notes at the front and a medium finish. Not over powering in a good way. Nice balanced wine that would pair well with a hearty near off the evening grill. Nice break from Cab fatigue

Very good. Started out a little thin but tannic and oaky. Over thee hours developed into a thick and fruity deliciousness.
