Fear I waited too long on this. Quite hot, though that did dissipate after some time (45 minutes or so). Feel like it is in a real delicate spot right now. Had about a 30 minute window where it was showing pretty well and then fell off a cliff about the 90 minute mark. Never seen such quick from hot, to good(was probably a 90 at this point), to basically undrinkable all within 90-120 minutes of opening.

Still youthful in color. Roasted meat, pepper, red and dark fruit on the nose. Soft on the palate and the tannins are integrated but lacks complexity. Medium+ finish. This is very different in style from the usual Bedrock offerings (I seem to recall that it was made like this on purpose). Good wine, but not 99 points for me. I have to agree with other reviewers, not sure of the upside from here.

P&P. Very similar in flavor to the Expo1. Dark fruits, smoke, grilled meat, coffee grounds, cracked peppercorn, softest tannin structure of the bunch too with some zippy acidity. Nice, but 99 points? Nope. Drink now - 2027.

A full bodied dark fruit explosion balanced with soft tannins and long finish. The usual smokey, savory flavors are baked into the dark fruit extravaganza of blackberries, plums, black cherries, etc.
Amazing with the filet mignon side of a fire grilled porterhouse. This is tasting at its peak. Personally, this was my favorite of the 2012 expositions.

Fully mature. Still showing lively acidity while the tannins have softened up. Very savory with some dark fruit in the background. Quite distinctive but drink up.
