  Deep ruby red. 13.9% ABV. Opened in the morning and decanted two hours prior to dinner. Rather reluctant aromatics of plum, green tobacco, violets and vanilla bean progressively gain in intensity. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, loaded with bittersweet chocolate, mint, earth and minerals. Fine grained, tooth-coating tannins and red fruits are quite apparent on the very long finish. This is very tight and promising, and unlike many 2011 Napa Cabernets and Bordeaux blends, is clearly on the upswing. I would forget about this in the cellar for at least another 5 years. Good stuff! 94.

  90-91+ Points. Tasted at Kapcsandy.
  
  Sappy red fruits on the nose. On the palate, ripe raspberry and sappy cherries followed by cedar, dried herbs, fennel and eucalyptus on the mid-palate and finish. Seems to be in an awkward stage at this point and wasn't particularly expressive. Good density and mouthfeel on the mid-palate, but a bit closed down. Young and a bit wound up, this seemed less approachable than others in the line-up and might need a bit more time to unfurl. There's plenty of concentration here but it's not very giving at the moment.
