We had the 2012 Vintage on 7/12-13/25. With 13 Years of aging, all the tannins have been smoothed out. Tastes of blueberry, plum, leather and spice. Medium to full bodied. Still fruit forward. Very good — 13 days ago
Dark in color. Super fruity on the nose. Blackberry and plumb notes. Peppery, leathery, earthy finish. — a month ago
Lighter nose than AV. Smoother than AV with more balanced tannins. Really nice wine but will take the AV version for the price. — 3 days ago
Sipping Fine Wine
Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs, bramble and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of dark berries, blackberry and plum with notes of tea, herbs, cacao and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, cacao, floral, bramble spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age a long time, actually very young now! — 12 days ago
