OK, so this 2012 has become a serious library wine. We opened this to go with our routine steak dinner, and it was exceptional. Sincerely wish we had additional bottles. Modest tannins, very refined fruit. Looks like there are about 60 bottles out there in community cellars. To those folks, treat this one as special. Suggesting 2025 as an end-date.

Oh my God! What a delightful and substantial wine!! Dense, new world fruit and the depth of a crater!! Served with a baked shrimp cake and salad. Steak wouldn't do it justice. Would easily buy more if available. Would drink without food!!!

Inky and teeth staining; fruit forward, featuring plum, cassis and blueberries. Holding second bottle a little longer
