Nice BDX, but lacking a bit of the structure of previous vintages.

Firm, gripping tannin. Decidedly dark finish, though a lingering brightness persists. Merlot plushness comes out with time.

Delightful, new-style Bordeaux. Tons of fruit, a touch of green pepper, spicy. Very smooth tannins.

Nov 3rd, 2016Tasting the 2012 vintage. Classic Bordeaux. Very structured and tight early on. Opens up beautifully with time. Smooth, plenty of vanilla.

Balance of old and new world. Definitely a "French" nose but enough fruit on the palate to keep you happy. Still a hefty amount of tannins, could use some aging

An interesting and classic Bordeaux nose but there's not much life left on the palate.
