The nose sent black Cherry and vanilla 3 feet away when we opened it. Flavors of that cherry, blackberry, anise and vanilla prevail all the way. Perfect tannins and surprisingly young for a 2012. The color is like a new cab. I’ll save our other bottle for 2 years.

Opened 3 hours before drinking (no decant). Very dark ruby (almost Cornes-like). Syrupy cassis on the nose with notes of menthol. Velvety texture with dark and red fruits and a long finish. Short on earth notes, but very suave wine nonetheless. Nice wine - should be for the $!

Wow that was an amazing luscious wine! Still quite youthful with very vibrant fruit.

21 Grams Vertical: 2005-2016. (Home, Portland OR): 21 Grams Vertical: 2005-2016. Badly corked and undrinkable. Out of 12 bottles in the vertical this was the only flawed wine. Sad!
