  Clear deep ruby color with clean and somewhat subdued nose with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, flint with hint of chocolate, smoke, tar and mushrooms. Palate: dry, with good acidity (medium plus) medium tannins, high alcohol, medium body with a very pleasant mouthfeel, medium and very pleasant flavor intensity of plums, minerals, vanilla and dried cranberries. Finish is very satisfying but a bit short. This is a very good wine that is just entering its drinkability window. You can bring it now but it will be worth it to give it a few more years in the cellar.

  This was a good wine. As I have read in other tasting notes, there are still a lot of tannins in this wine.

  Decanted for 3 hours. The tannins are still very present after decant. The nose is blackberry and raspberry. The palate is muted blackberry and cherry. I’ll wait another couple of years for the next bottle.

  After lots of time in the cellar we were disappointed in this one. This was low on fruit and high on tannins. Compared to a 2012 Larkmead Cabernet this one fell short of that by a fair margin.
