Opens with heavy dose of green pepper on nose and palate, evolves into blue and black fruit, hint of vanilla and eucalyptus. Soft tannins and cocoa mid palate. Short finish that I think would pair well with a burger.

Def the least favorite vintage for me to date. More oaked I think because the fruit is diluted and much less present then the other vintages tried. 2011 did have late rain and was a wet season. Blackberry, plum, dark cherry, green pepper. Chocolate, shag tobac, cedar, clove, vanilla, cola. Med body and acid, tannins still got grip snd are full and round.

Last of 4 bottles and still drinking great. I love the depth and richness of the dark fruits. They're also nicely balanced with graphite, olive and woodsy notes, so the wine stays interesting and multi-dimensional. Probably on the back end of its drinking window, so I suggest drinking up. We look forward to finding some of the newer vintages. And oh, what a good looking bottle shape!

Corked. Disappointing! The fruit seems to be good on the palate, but alas!
