The 12 vintage has such beautiful fruit. Even more true here. Glorious, beautiful cassis of; ruby blackberries, ruby dark cherries, black plum, plums, black raspberries and blue fruits that haunt the background along with baked strawberries. The baking spices are softening; which is good. Heat lifting spices, dark rich soils, crushed rocks, steeped dark tea, leather, dry stems, bay leaf, lavender, lilacs and violets. Beautiful round acidity, strong length, structure, tension and balance. A big, rich, ruby, long elegant finish that goes on and on.

Very bold wine justifiable price by the smoothness for such a heavy tannin wine. Easy to drink yet will be better paired with food. Janzen Cabernet - 99 points $147.99/btl retail. Only 250 cases produced! Incredibly concentrated.
