The 2012 vintage has aged gracefully and is now drinking very well. This bottling and vintage has perhaps aged better then originally anticipated upon its release. Now with some age on it, it is rich, luscious and layered. Creme de cassis on the nose. The palate shows lovely fresh crushed black current mixed with raspberry and cedar. Velvety and fine but yet structured tannins balanced with bright acidity. There is still plenty of life in this vintage and it will easily hold up for another 3-5 years.

Very nice, but should continue to improve for another year or so.

Whitehall Lane Cab is consistently good. Good nose, balanced, tannins not overwhelming and smooth finish. Great for every day.

Still very much in it's drinking window and performing quite well. Not overly complex, but well integrated and smooth!
