Dry and tannic at first.....I kind of liked that. But slowly evolved into the fruit forward, moderately oaked cab I recall.

Very dry, berry flavors. Like a crushed velvet burgundy dress at a tori amos concert.

Tobacco, cocoa and dry oak on the entry, with red currant, rasberry, fig fruit, finishes dry with fine grained tannins.

Surprise hit! Candied (almost carbonic) cherries and a bit of pyraziny goodness - firm acid and soft supple texture. Great time to drink these, but I don't imagine too many are around...

Manages good composure for the vintage, deeper black fruit that 2011, while retaining freshness and acidity. Dusty cocoa and dry oak in the finish.

Rich and opulent, ripe, in the napa style but below 14%: very clean, no funk

This was a pleasant surprise, with blackberry jam on the nose but real restraint on the palate, and tannins that rise to the challenge. Medium weight and finishes dry.
