Licorice dark berry nose. Dark cacao tannins under earthy dried foresty leafy unripe cassis. Youthful tart fruit balanced with dense bitter cacao.

Surprisingly round and generous, I found that the fruit stood out boldly against the structural elements. Drinking very well now.

This needed a day open to start drinking well, but after that it’s good going. Nice dark fruit with bay leaf and tobacco - cabernet dominance.

If there ever was a vintage to stock up on, this would be it. 2012 is crazy good right out of the bottle, but evolved throughout the night.
