  Still so young, but also quite approachable. It’s a very good wine, intense, vibrant, with a really long finish. But just too primary to be interesting at this stage. It will improve, but given how slow the evolution has been so far its hard to say how long it will take. And acidity is not that high…

  Well my good friend Michael, who got me started on wine, is celebrating his %#th birthday on Monday. They came out for dinner so I decided to open some really special wines to celebrate. This bottle and a bottle of the 2012 Dominus. I opened the bottles three hours prior to dinner which was grilled steak with some grilled NJ corn. This is an amazing bottle of wine. Dark fruit on the nose leading to a palate of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, plums, figs, tobacco and cedar. The finish was extremely long. Just a great bottle of wine and my preferred of the evening.
  As an aside and I know he will be laughing when he reads this. As the bottles were slowly being consumed - he had me open a half bottle of Switchback Ridge Cabernet to pour into the wives' glasses as he figured they would not appreciate the Verite as much as we did.'
  Oh well, boys will be boys, no matter how old we get.

  中宝石红色，闻香有肉鲜味，黑莓，轻微青椒味，入口酸度中高，酒液咸，单宁紧致，抓人，收口甜，奶油的香气，努力品能品到一点青椒味，余味新鲜的果香和奶味。能喝出来这款酒质量很高，结构很大，香气层次丰富，酒还比较新，进一步发展后未来可期。
