Medium garnet with some bricking throughout. Such an amazing and distinct nose, with oxidized fruit and graphite shining through. Medium weight and acid, with medley of fruit including strawberry, raspberry, cherry that are so well integrated and smooth on the palate. Lovely wine.

Clear slightly pale garnet with significant rim browning. Prune, leather, chocolate. Medium to low acids, low tannins. Coffee grinds, white pepper. Long balanced finish.

A bit of an uptick for me since my last bottle. Opened for about 4 hrs prior to dinner. This turned out to be my personal favorite of the night vs the 11 and 13 (note fan favorite was 11).
Concentrated with lots of dark fruit - blackberries and cherries. Balanced with light oak and caramel. Definitely earthier than other vintages. Was great with food. Drinking quite well now but will likely hold my last one a bit longer to see if anything else develops.

Oh man. My last bottle and it is still in a very happy place. Excellent from sniff to finish.
