  My goodness, what a terrific surprise out of the cellar. Enjoyed as a stand alone after dinner. Beautiful color. Mild rim variation. No flaws, no sediment. Rich and beautiful nose as well as flavors. Old world nose and taste. Low tannin. Low acid. Medium alcohol. Long finish. Perfectly drinkable. Cannot judge peak, only bottle and first taste. Would definitely enjoy again if I had it!!!

  Great dark red and dense wine with lots of dried fruit, chocolate, cassis and Violet on the palate. Somewhat spicey and fiery from the 15% ABV, but not disturbing. Add 17 months in oak barrels to the flavor and character.

  Interesting to compare to the 2010. Much more tannic and comes across as quite a bit younger. Similar flavour profile but will need more time than the 2010. Still an excellent wine.
