Sixth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 and the 2003 came out too.
Deep ruby red. A touch of TCA on the nose with black fruits and spices underneath. It’s bearable. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. Seems a bit delayed and a touch of dark cocoa and black berries. Can’t rate or give drink by. If I did would be around a 91-2 ignoring the nose.

3/2024. Good color and flavor. Very nice on the palate and finish. All caught me by surprise considering the vintage, 2012.

Dark garnet in color. Heady scents of bay leaf, red plum, and tobacco. Mid-palate of dark chocolate, raspberry, and a hint of graphite. Long, plush finish
