Very aromatic and alcoholic on opening, needed a few hours of air. Consumed over two nights, each half-glass was better than the prior. Evolved from very oaky to balanced fruit. Likely has a few years left, but I can’t see why you wouldn’t drink this now.

Overall in a very good place. 2012’s just don’t seem to have the same punch I once thought. Great aromatics and very smooth. Should still be good with 5-7 more years on it.

1 hr decant, would benefit from more. Dark fruit up front, good balance, firm tannins, medium finish. Drinking nicely now.
