The 2012 Kapcsandy 'Estate Cuvée' begins with striking aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, spring florals, graphite and crushed stones all emerging beautifully from the glass. On the palate this displays wonderful elegance and precision. It continues to impress with remarkable overall structure, balance and purity of fruit, all leading up to the long, graceful finish that lingers effortlessly. A total beauty from Kapcsandy, which will thrive in the cellar for many years.

Needed a few hours in the decanter to fill out. Then it was quite delicious.

Needed 2 hours to open. Spine of Cabernet, suave of Merlot. Really well balanced. Nose is pretty, lots going on, hard to pin down, partly because I just want to enjoy it instead of concentrate on it. BlackBerry, blueberry, currant, dust , graphite, allspice. Tannins end smoothly, but with a healthy pucker. There’s iodine at the end, but not offputting. Awesome now. Probably should wait a while to open. Have one more bottle, hope I can.
