2012 Vintage. Outstanding especially with that Wagyu steak which also cost me a c-note but damn it was worth it

Medium ruby color. Aromas of black cherry, earthy, mushrooms and spices. Great vintage still kicking full of flavor.

Gave this a hard decant and let it sit for an hour. Lots of tart red fruit with some lingering forest floor. The acidity rushes up the sides of my checks. Drink now or let it sit for a decade.

Vibrant, juicy and fruity. Give this a nice decant first, opens her up!
