The 2014 Ilatraia is a real surprise. Powerful, dense and explosive, it packs a serious punch. Black plum, chocolate, smoke and leather notes give the wine much of its bold, resonant personality. The tannins could use a bit more time to soften, but all things considered, the 2014 is very nicely balanced. I imagine that it will always be a bit virile in personality.
