A massive wine and as with the older vintages, this is moving at glacier pace in evolution. Very nice dark fruits, tobacco and cedar notes, massive, but smooth tannins. Not overly invasive on the palate but nice and balanced length with hints of cinnamon and basil.
Has ages to go and be enjoyed!

Camphor and plum on the nose. On the palate, black cherry, plum, and currant, with black pepper and a touch of vanilla on the medium to long finish, with light tannins and good acidity. This was excellent, but pricey at over $40. I see the 2012 is selling for about $20, which would be an excellent value if the vintage is as good.

After some time in the glass, this was sanguine, robust, and generally very poised. Not all that soulful but pleasant for sure.

Really enjoy the full throttle dark fruit and heavy aromatics.
