12/19. Good but probably better if opened 3 years ago.

Deep purple in color with chocolate, leather, tobacco and cherry aromas; medium body with light tannins and a dry finish. Malbec and Marselan blend. I wasn't a fan of having a glass of this wine on it's own but it paired nicely Pain au chocolat. This wine was decanted for approximately 1 hour.

Actively bad. One of the only wines I have literally poured down the drain. Not as if the bottle was bad or it was a bad wine - it barely even tasted like wine. Strange because the 2012 was quite nice.

Not bad, not good, something in the middle, a mix of dark fruits and medicine
