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.

It has lost all fruit on nose and palate. I waited to long to drink it. Just left with acid and tannins

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

Earth, dark fruit, acid, body, all beautifully balanced. A very special wine. (Donna)
