Notes are very similar to the ‘13 I opened two months ago in regards to aromatics. Dusty raspberries and ripe, fresh squeezed blackberries on the nose. Medium bodied. Red and black fruit dominant on the palate with currant, tobacco, and typical Rutherford “dust”, but there is an additional smoked meat note here (very faint). Less of a spice on the finish as there was with the ‘13...more fruit and tannin in comparison. This has a bit more of a flavor punch than the ‘13.
