For the vintage and pedigree it underperforms. Still a good wine.

Reliably good. Can't decide if this 2013 is better than the 2012.

A much more approachable style. Showing classic Napa and Oakville characteristics. More fruit forward then I remembered, but showing some depth and complexity. Will be great to see how it ages.
