Feb 15th, 2016Continuing my crozes trend, this 2012 is well integrated and elegant. Less expressive than the others I've tried, but still delicious and polished. Not as peppery as expected, yet still not expressing generous fruits even after sitting open. Black currant, stewed veg, tomato vines; but all quite subtle. Would be stellar if if was a bit more forward with these attributes.
