I'd give this guy a couple years. All elements are potent without being overly so but not knitted together. Moderate but loose tannins, roasted plum, cooked black cherry and some pepper and cloves and a finish that is lengthy but jagged, if that makes sense--gonna come back to my remaining bottle in a couple of years.

Blackberry, cassis, currant, mocha, mossy earth, vanilla, oak and hints of baking spice. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

2013 was very poor. The 2014 is lovely. Too much variation for me if you find the 2014 under $14 it would be high value

Not super spicy, but spicy enough. Fruity, definitely blackberries on the palette. 👍🏻
