The 2012 is drinking surprisingly well, fruit has fallen off a bit to be tolerated and some dust and leather is showing. I prefer this to the younger versions

States peak for this wine is 2015 - 2019. We had a few bottles we found doing our inventory so we opened one today. We aerated and decanted it prior to drinking and it was fine - tasted bold and delicious.

A wonderful wine at a great price point. This has aged well. The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are slow. It smells like cherry and blackberry. The body is full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium.

Spot on terrific value red! Phantom really delivers. A Rhône/CNP like nose with a lush, ripe fruit and bramble palette followed by a long finish. Everything really comes together with no “rough edges”. Glad I saved a case. Think it still has a good couple of years + to go. Enjoy!!
