  12/28/2023 - FrankBank Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Eucalyptus, mushrooms, tobacco, leather, dark fruits, touch of vanilla and oak. Cocoa shows up with some time. Earthy aromas all around.
  Medium bodied, light acidity at the tail end. Tannins have rounded off nicely.

  Black/red color with slight meniscus. On nose, fully mature - plum, ripe cherry, sweet tobacco. On palate, medium+ body, low tannins, medium acidity and medium+ finish (clipped slightly). Flavor profile on palate of black currants, plum and black cherry. At peak but should be good till 2022 at the least. 90-91 range.

  I have been pretty happy with 2012 Bordeaux - drinking well early.

  Consistent with note from 8/2014. Good balance but more of a modern style which works in Bordeaux given higher acidity profile vs. California.
  
  "Dark black / reddish color. Black currants, charcoal, tobacco, plum on nose. On palate, medium body, high acids, medium+ finish. Blackberry, touch of tobacco and nice tannic grip on palate." 91+ again.
