Concentrated, medium to full-bodied and layered, with rock star length, it should be at its best from 2019-2029. While I reviewed the 2013s from bottle last year, I was thrilled to have a chance to taste through them again. They showed consistently from last year and are beautiful wines. The 2014s showed more flesh, richness and density, and should be a step up. My experience with these wines is that they really need a handful of years in the cellar to start to show well, but if you must drink them in their youth, they benefit from a solid decant.
