There’s a lot of cedar and berries with a hint of veg in the nose. The taste showed the same with some sweetness than tannins and some sourness in the finish. I did like this wine but I look at wines in my cellar a bit differently now that I’m over 80 and think I should have drunk this sooner. Still have the 2014 and will get that shortly. If you have any of the 2013 drink up. BTW, did a hard decant about an hour before a Wagyu steak dinner and saw no changes from opening to finishing the bottle.

As per my last notes on this wine; lead pencil, cedar, berries and a hint of veg. Nice smooth long finish but overall not very rich. I think it’s done, thankfully its my last bottle and need to move on to the 2016. — 2 months ago

Decided to go through my cellar. This is very good for the age, although it did lose some chocolate notes. Still very pleasant to drink and enjoy. — 3 years ago

I thought I was drinking the estate bottling but it turns out to be the Altamont. Wow, what a big wine and super loaded with cola, deep dark berries and some more completely intergraded elements. It had a nice long finish. Overall it was quite different and a bit over the top, Not sure if it would calm down some with more age. Got a few more bottles so I guess I’ll find out. — 4 months ago
