Been storing this 2012 since it was released at the winery. It's aged very well. Dark only-purple color, intense purple to pink ring. On the nose I get ripe roasted plum and cherry, a hint of leather and spice. The fruit is moderate to big, fresh plums and chocolate with high glycerine and a supple, long finish. Pairing with an antipasto salad and sausage & pepperoni pizza. Good times!
