2012 magnum drinking very nice. Tannis present but relaxed. Oak notes are very nice. Vanilla, cigar box. Fruits mellow but still nicely there, although hard to distinguish specifically. Nice finish. Decanted 30mins before serving. If you have any 2012 still sitting around, recommend drinking soon. Probably at its peak here.

Drank 11 years past vinrltage. Very well balanced and smooth. We taste the evilutuon, it was time to drink it. I would not over age it. Has probably peaked 2 or 3 years ago.

tasted @Vancouver International Wine Festival 2023: Seems to be dominated by the Merlot, quite chocolatey, elegant, dense, but lacks some acidity and feels a bit hot on the finish. For a >10 year old wine this drinks really well. Compared to the 2017 and 2018 (tasted alongside) I would prefer to drink this vintage right now. But 2018 still has lots of potential. - 90 points
