Subdued nose of dark fruit and chocolate. Very fresh on the palate. Tannins firm but not overly grippy. Plum, blackberry, some bitter cocoa flavors. Lovely stuff

A monster. Decanted for 2-3 hours and devoured this with friend.

Purplish, and looks a bit light at the rim. The nose is rather closed. Hint of some black and red fruits and some hint of truffle, though not that distinctive. Light on the palate. Secondary taste of dark chocolate. Dry and short finish. Not comparable to the 2012 that I quite enjoyed.
