Crappy night at work, naturally i needed a magnum format bottle afterward. Actually quite delicious. Overripe blackberries and that oh so silky mouthfeel. Toasty oak notes with a chocolatey finish. Just what i needed!

Medium body, still had lots fruit and acid, smooth, cork crumbled, medium finish. Great with beef roast.

Too tangy and too acidic for me. 2012 was much better.
