One of the winners of the night surprisingly enough. Great concentration of fruit. Not overly complex but immensely enjoyable when you're in the mood for a more bombastic drink.

2013 Vintage.16.1% Alcohol. Blueberries, iron, and licorice one the nose. Big wine that hides the alcohol. Early tune-up for the upcoming release party.
