Decanted off its sediment and served ten minutes later. Aromas of blueberry, blackberry, kirsch, spice and florals. Medium tannin. Blackberry, raspberry and spice flavors. Very nice.

Popped and poured with grilled skirt steak. Not sure if this is an off bottle or just not in a good spot. The acidity is so strong it’s practically sour. The wife couldn’t finish hers. I don’t recall my first bottle being like this. No score.

A wonderful effort, this displayed a good bit of spice at first but that gave way to raspberry and dark berry fruit with a briary/peppery quality too. Balanced and lush, with an abundance of spice-tinged fruit on the palate. Lengthy finish.

Plum and dark fruit, pepper and herb. Softened tannins still have a slight grip. Flavors of black raspberry and black cherry. Nice balance.

Acidity still overpowering. 2012 was a tough vintage.
