December 24, 2018 - This superb wine is aging beautifully. Gibbston was the crown jewel of the 2012 Valli lineup. Dark, acidic, lithe, complex, even fruity (on the darker side) - it remains the complete package as it enters its second era.

January 6, 2018 - Burgundy style red, medium bodied. Nose and palate are moderately congruent, totaling cranberry, raspberry, clove, pepper, herbs, damp forest, oak, blood, tobacco. Vibrant, almost forceful, acidity. Needs a bit of air but drinking well right now. Finish was short on day 1 and adequately long on day 2. Recommended
