Drinking the 2012 in 2018. Very deep dark and rich color. Long lasting legs. Rich oak aroma with hints of pepper. Earthy flavor with tons of oak. Very smooth from start to finish. Love this wine!

Slightly sharper than expected, but quite pleasant. Cinnamon is present as advertised.

Solid as always. Ever since I started drinking Donum I just don't love this as much. Slight QPR penalty - perhaps I'm being too harsh.
