Decanting for an hour at 55°F produced notes of plum and the ever-present oak. This wine is offering medium-bodied, straightforward Napa Cab flavors with smooth, integrated tannins. It's the acidity that keeps the palate alive and drives the plum, blackberry, mocha, coffee, and vanilla flavors through the medium length finish. I rated it higher than the 2011 vintage (see notes) by virtue of the deeper mid-palate concentration and longer, more energetic finish.

Still drinking well. Dark fruits, a touch of licorice and tobacco, fine tannins.

En glad vin. Moderne med upfront frugt og en fin fadbehandling. Har ikke nok rygrad til at få flere point og Q/P er forfærdelig.
