This wine is still a baby and will benefit from some cellar time. It's still great now. Blue fruits. Graphite. A little tight on the finish. Give it some time.

A young young man who is puffing his chest and ready to fight but needs some seasoning. Very monolithic and some heat. Hold.

2013 Vintage. Still very grapey and youthful. Needs more time to shine.
