Great wine but not the best vintage of one of my usual "go to" wines. Last of this vintage now on to the 2016!

Better and more body than prior bottles. Still not up to its usual quality.But great wine nonetheless.

Probably a reflection of the vintage, but not as good as the 16 or 15.

Same comments. Not the best Two in history, likely the vintage.

Not one of AO's best efforts. Pretty vegetative, not particularly complex. No smoke taint (yet?). Glad I have 2015, 16 and 18, all of which I certainly hope are better.

Beautiful nose, like a smooth, inviting Tuscan blend. Coravin'd then opened & emptied over two days. About $42 and seemingly floats just right in those waters, so we're ok with that. It does not, however, punch above its weight. Medium/heavy body, but not much complexity of which to speak. Might buy again,... but Cocodrillo Corte, and Brancaia Ilatraia exist, and offer a better, richer vin beverage at essentially equivalent wallet exit. Anyway, glad we tried it. You probably will be …

As my prior notes, not as robust as other vintages, but nonetheless, a perfectly blended wine. Great value. Perfect example of how good an inexpensive Napa Cab can be.

Definitely better than my previous bottle. More fruit, more body, but still not up to other vintages standard.

Definitely not up to the caliber of prior vintages. Much thinner and without the depth of fruit I have come to expect from this wine. I hope this is vintage related and not due to the change in winemakers.

Another great AO Two-Squared. This vintage does not have the richness of the 15 or 16. I am currently drinking this before I drink the 15 or 16's.

Took a few hours to open up completely. Underwhelming nose on PnP but started to show its true colors after three hours. Understated black currant and raspberry on the palate, with medium length finish with dark chocolate notes. Fine tannin remains, so could go another 2-3 years in a cellar. Nice enough.

I did not give this wine proper focus. It was opened alongnwith other bottles amid dinner with friends, so it was lost in the crowd. I do recall thinking it gave a decent showing.

Berries and leather on the nose. Tannins that gracefully laid down after an hour Flavor begin as cranberries and fig move quickly into strawberry and chocolate covered raisins and finish with slight leather graphite while still jammy. Medium body and a nice wine for those who appreciate wine and those that just enjoy having a glass with others.
