Had the 2014 in July of 2023. Definitely some oak in this one. On the nose and finish for sure. Drier wine with light tannins. Hints of strawberry and spice. Mostly clove. Had with salmon tonight and it paired quite well. I would probably buy this one again.

Interesting on the palette, smooth beginning with an almost chalky and dusty finish. Overall pretty good!
