  Nose is rich, dark raspberry. Color is deep garnet with a mahogany edge. Initial tasting is a big, complex, somewhat acidic dark red fruit. No layers of flavor yet. Bit of slate and tannin evident on the short to medium finish. After 3 hours of air, no emergence of the fruit, still compacted.

  Deep blueberry color. Bigger, darker, sweeter red fruit showing some cedar and pepper spice, healthy tannins but still quite smooth.

  Blue-purple in color with a deep resonant nose of dark red fruit. Lots of fruit -- black cherries, blackberry -- without the sweeter, lighter highlights of red cherry and raspberry. Little graphite and cedar but a very full mouthfeel and more rounded, less elegant, than the 2011. Bit of grit on the very long finish. This is drinkable now with a bit (1 or 2 hours) of air, and will present beautifully for 10 years, at least.
