I'm still amazed that this came out of the difficult 2011 vintage. Kudos to Paul Hobbs and the Laird team for making this a standout of the vintage, showing gorgeous opaque color, a clear rim, and offering up a rich, enticing and luscious mélange of aromas and flavors, all balanced with softening tannins, some sweet vanilla and a monster finish--all in perfect balance. Outstanding, and starting to peak right now.
