Really a fantastic wine for $20. Brooding - needs some time to open - after which reveals a meaty and gravely wine. Tobacco, Spanish cedarwood, mushroom, and bell pepper, with lush, dark fruit on the pallet, and a lingering finish of pepper and dark plum skin. I think that this is an OK vintage for these guys, nothing like the 2012's I had of recent, but none the less, still a fantastic wine that would make a great stock up Bordeaux wine for frequent consumption.
