Extracted and dense without the big jam fruit. Big unbalanced oak and chocolate. Unripe red fruit, green strawberries. Odd bitter walnut skin after taste.

Deep ruby coloration. On the nose are hints of chocolate, tobacco, smoke and leather, cherry and anise. On the palate, cherry, leather and chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel. Long chocolate finish. Nicely balanced. Just the kind of wine I love and somehow surpasses the 2013 vintage I adored.

2013. Dark Ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, tobacco and forest floor. On the palate, dark cherry, anise, and a long finish with hints of chocolate. Medium body with nicely balanced tannins. Outstanding wine.
