Deep ruby hue with garnet rim variation. Nose offers candied cassis, baked cherry, black and red licorice, molasses, black pepper, leather, baking spice, and oak notes. Spice is prominent on the palate. Medium tannins. Elegant and balanced. Long finish. Vintage 2012. ABV 14%.

Still awfully young and tannic. Probably needs another hour of air and then I'll revisit the rating. After more air it rises a bit. Has great fruit and earth elements and is balance. But will benefit from a few more years in bottle.

2012 is full of apricot fruit and mineral layers, opens up throughout the meal, put some aside for the cheese course.
