Saddle leather, pencil lead, fresh, crisp red fruit aromatics and flavors, the leather notes run throughout but do not show barnyard or Brett, great balance and acidity, long, lingering finish, I just love Colares, amazing the depth and length this shows at 11.0% ABV!! — 18 days ago

2012 vintage. Pessac-Léognan arguably produced the best wines in this difficult Bordeaux vintage, and this is a great effort. Deeply coloured, dense, and concentrated, with a ripe tannic structure and very good length. Drinking well now, but will keep for many more years. Fine value, well worth seeking out. Abv. 13,5 %. — 10 months ago

He’s not picking early, yet the wine is well balanced and fresh. Expressive. Plenty of fruit. Expanding brambly strawberries and underbrush. Firm tannins. Luminoso! — 3 years ago
