It is interesting if you compare this tasting to my tasting of the same vintage from March 2013. The wine feels different. Although the sub-appellation and vintage is the same I checked the back label and it is different production batch and most importantly it has 2% higher alcohol level (!). This batch feels more tannic and heavier, maybe needs time to age to smooth.
