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.
