Hard to compare this one to the 15th, 14th and 13th Appellation versions. Still young and needs to mature a bit more in bottle. Came off tannic, with fruit showing up a bit later as time in glass progressed.

Red fruit slurry. A bit thin, but a tasty ‘12.

An excellent red Bordeaux blend. Hard to find but well worth the search.

A well made blend, but still tight at present. Prefer the petit Verdot and cab franc from this producer - both are excellent.
