First time tasting this bottling. Very enjoyable, but probably just past its zenith. Quite contemporary for a Spanish Tempranillo. Good fruit profile, with tobacco and herbs. A little iron and singed leaves come along for the ride. Finishes with persistence. A great value. — 7 years ago

You ever open a perfect bottle with the exact right amount of bottle age? Me neither - until this bottle! I’ve had ‘better’ wines, sure, but this was the moment this wine was made for, at its absolute zenith. — 8 years ago
We love Plumpy. Lovely texture and mouthfeel. Nice long finish, and not overly sweet. Nice dark fruit profile, with a nifty acidic presence, complemented with balsamic notes, and black tea. Not the over-the-top Napa fruit-bomb. Probably at its zenith now. Drink up, or else... — 8 years ago

Anniversary #14 wine! Getting to slim pickings for the 2012 G Major 7. Nice wine. Starting to get to its zenith, but compared to the 2010, this one has a lot of growing up to do but still a solid 95 today. Blackberries and brambly fruit. Not as weighted as the 10. At the moment. Ample black fruit to the finish. A good wine to celebrate #14. Lots of tannin still present. Starting to gain a little maturity. Pepper finish. Great expression of Oakville fruit. — 7 years ago
Strong showing from the French.
At its zenith right now. Presented a touch of funk, which blew off. A stunning presentation on the palate. Soft and plush, with a core of black fruits and regal oak. Expansive on the finish. Gutted that this was my last bottle, but enjoyed with wine geeks who suggested this rating.

Opened alongside a 2006 Zenith. Both tasting exceptional in 2018. — 8 years ago
Wedding wine, revisited. In a magnum with the finest company and meat & cheese pairing. A blast to compare with the 2006 Evesham Le Puits Sec we opened with this. — 8 years ago

SOLID bottle of wine. VERY impressed by this one. This wine was true embodiment of Napa cab at 12 years old. Dense, full bodied blackberry fruit on the front with a hint of eucalyptus, with a slightly "blue" tone. The entry of this wine was rather massive and tasted like this one was 3 years old. The middle of this wine had some fig and black fruit, and finished with a dominant pepper note. I heard Shay talk about this one for a little while, and was very honored to share this one with you. I was extremely impressed at how youthful this one drank, and seems to have a good 5-7 years ahead of it. I think zenith is probably 2020-2021. — 8 years ago
