Well developed and rich. Nose a bit muted as is often the case with the glass corks they used prior to 2015. Dark purple in color and viscous with an initial soft mouth feel. Ripe red and black fruits up front, before the tannins build, giving way to a little heat. Lingering finish that starts strong and slowly fades away. not sure it will improve with more time

Another great example of the 2012 Vintage! Probably ready to drink now, and certainly earlier than the previous vintages. Packed with bright black fruits, and a floral note that is soft and inviting. Some black pepper and a medium finish. Looking forward to what this may bring.

Minerality makes this special. Saltiness and spice finish add interest and diverted conversation toward the wine. Buy more and age more.

3.5 Dark, rich purple in hue, a brooding wine with dark raspberry alongside herbs. Delightful.

Dark red fruit and campfire ash on the nose. Nicely textured in the mouth. Balanced. Tart cherry, decent finish, but some heat comes in late.
