Elegant wine with blackberry, black currant, plum, boysenberry, black cherry, anise, vanilla, smoke, and mocha. The fruit is quite forward but avoids being cloying thanks to balancing the fruit with abundant ripe, well-integrated tannin and high acidity. It’s a lovely wine with a rich, full-bodied texture and a long finish. Enjoyable now and will keep for 10 years

The 12 vintage has such beautiful fruit. Even more true here. Glorious, beautiful cassis of; ruby blackberries, ruby dark cherries, black plum, plums, black raspberries and blue fruits that haunt the background along with baked strawberries. The baking spices are softening; which is good. Heat lifting spices, dark rich soils, crushed rocks, steeped dark tea, leather, dry stems, bay leaf, lavender, lilacs and violets. Beautiful round acidity, strong length, structure, tension and balance. A big, rich, ruby, long elegant finish that goes on and on.

Huge wine. Found it quite hard to finish the bottle over three days. Really dark and dense. Dark fruit that comes across a bit jammy. Charcoal, black pepper, bacon fat. If I had this to a huge steak it might been better. But still, not my style.
