2 hour decant (decent chunky/cloudy sediment). A purplish dark magenta color. On the nose: in your face aromas of plum, leather, cedar, currants, floral, mint and smoke. Taste: a smooth, dry, elegant, nicely balanced wine with black fruit, minerals, graphite, black pepper,, and a smokey herb long finish. Give it a few more years to come around, has potential.

Black fruits, cedar box, liquorice, cigar box, menthol. Huge structure, chewy tannin, slightly green on the palate, 30s finish. Need more time. 2012 vintage

Dense and elegant with great structure - a nice wine - still need time to mature in the cellar - one of the most attracting 2012 I tasted

Merry Christmas All!!!

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Great nose that contains floral elements, cedar, and smoke. Wine has medium minus depth and features olives, cherry, smoke, and men’s cologne. Medium finish. Great producer! I like there other wines better but this was very good!
