Wow the nose is stunning. More depth than the 2011 but different and just as good. Gorgeous mulled spices, raspberry, wood shavings, mid season ripe cherries, so deep, hit of honey, so wafting and wonderful levels of insane spice. Palate is just so so impressive. Incredible sweetness and depth with exquisite purity and concentration. Amazingly clean and so lacey. Grippy, ripe and sweet tannins. Dazzlingly pure and persistent finish that has spice and fruit with a lovely hit of opulence on the finish that adds so much. Amazing wine. Will age longer than you will think. 15+ years.

This is wonderful. Beautifully aged to a nice brick red. Must, earth, wet-leaf and humus, plus violet and wildflower, raspberries and various red fruits on the nose. Silken-light, but still energetic. Some blood-orange zest, clove, star anise, baking spices and culinary herbs too; has an aglianico-like character minus the tannins. Elegant and so easy to drink.
