decanted for 5 hours. Dark ink color This is my 3rd ERa during this holiday season , and my ranking order is first 2016,then 2014. This one 2015, is a notch under the others with a stronger taste of bitter. It is still early and has room to improve.
Rich and fruit forward, there was bit of thinness as we approached the end of the bottle. That said, it was a good wine, although not the top end of what AO can produce.

Very fruit-forward, with blackberry, blueberry, and cassis notes taking center stage. A little graphite and cocoa tease here and there. Short to medium finish. Still very young, so there is much to anticipate for the future.

Lots of red fruit and medium tannins. Will be better in 4 years. Lots of potential.
