The 2013 vintage of this fabulous wine lacks, at least in its youth, the chiseled precision and remarkable balance of the '10, the last vintage I tasted. The '13 is fleshier, more muddled, but really no less appealing. Like the '10, it gets better once it finds itself after a day or so, and it also has that graphite-currant duality, but it's iron/rust that balances the riper fruit. The savoury complexity isn't quite there, but the fruit is rich and profound, cassis, raspberry, and plum, and there's spice, leather, and that refreshing Aussie Cab mintiness as well, if less prominent. Great wine.
