The fruit is falling away on these and they’re getting more tertiary, some smoky meat, singed herbs. The palate is pretty soft, with some dark fruit showing through, but this might be subtly on the downhill.

Cigar box, wet tobacco, black currant, and subtle baking spice underneath. No hard edges on the palate with smooth medium+ tannins. Overall, it's got a nice bouquet, but it's lacking in a little depth -- everything hits you all at once and doesn't develop past that.
Drinking well right now, but I wouldn't hold for much longer.

W korean spiced pork butt. Jenn, Billy, Rudy, Jenny. Was worried about the combination but it worked well. Nice midweight cab that has developed well. Good fruit and body. Good medium finish. Had next to the 2010 and 2011 all very similar, solid wines. My winner was the 2010.

Ultra smooth texture, with a comforting palate of cassis, gentle Christmas spices and low acidity. Lovely with a hearty prime rib dinner.
