I'm drinking the 2013 vintage in 2018. The nose is lightly fruity with a nice caramel note. My first impression was that the wine was pretty acidic and could use a food pairing, but over the duration of the night, as it opened more, the wine is acceptable as a stand alone. A little too light-bodied for me and not floral enough, but would be better with a snack. I'll try it that way tomorrow.
