Deep red with black fruit aromas and some gentle spice. The palate shows ripe blackberries and black cherries, some vanilla spice cedar and cacao. The tannins are firm, a tad drying, with balanced acidity. Much better than 2011.

Silky, vanilla, dark fruit, fresh blueberry, quite drinkable already but will do well with a few hour decant.
