Delicious. This aged gracefully. I'm forgetting detailed notes, but I recall a subtle savoriness that was attractive and just in the background supporting the fruit. In the 2012 vintage, I preferred this to the Resonance bottling.

May 2020 notes apply in full. Another fantastic bottle, our last 2012 bottling of any type from BTF, a vintage which put them on the popular wine map. The end of a TERIFFIC wine-drinking era for us!

Another wonderful bottle of 2012 BTF Cattrall PN! Dark cherry without tartness, acidity in balance with fruit. Slightly green on the 20-sec finish. Drink over the next year.

Half-hour aeration. Wonderfully spicy cherry nose carries over onto palate, nothing lost or added. Nicely balanced, medium-bodied and structured for another year or 2. An exciting and impressive showing of a wine I've fondly wrestled with since release. 2 (maybe 3) btls left for the next 2 or 3 years, considering age and varied experiences will pop corks sooner than later.

Shared with the family at a local restaurant. Opened and let breathe 45 minutes or so. This was really nice with black cherry, baking spices and just a hint of loam. 13.2% on the label seems low for the hot '12 vintage but this showed really nice acids up front with sneaky smooth tannins on the rear. Lovely
