Denser, more chewy than the '11. Lots of power and dark berry fruit.

Fuller notes to come with final rating thereafter. Pop and pour is super impressive. After being open, really delicious and complex.

Overpowering and one dimensional. I think great if you like huge reds but it was too rough for me.

Lots of blue fruits but rough, rough, rough. Tannins were brutal. Never resolved over a 2+ hour decant. Leaving the rest in the cellar and hoping the wine will resolve in the next 5-10 years.
