This was rocking after a several hour decant. Just a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Focused, with good structure and grip. Good energy and liveliness. Didn't want this to end. Very expressive and made in a classic, timeless style.

Drank 1/22/20. Very nice with lamb chops and a red wine reduction, but best to avoid anything sweet.
Scents of Blackberry, cassis, wet stones, tar, and just a hint of green bell pepper. Very dark on the palate, with blackfruit, tar, cocoa nib, and espresso. Very well balanced. Tannins are somewhat firm, with a long, dry finish. Give it at least a 30 min decant. Should hold at least 5 more years. A quality wine for sure.

An elegant wine out of the 2012 vintage, deep garnet color, tempting nose of ripe black current, cassis, prunes, blackberry and dark chocolate, full body elegant and well balanced, with notes of oak and dry tannins, gripping acidity and a medium pleasant finish. Approachable today, will be better in a couple of years, my score 88, drink 2016-2029

Fragrant with berries and spices, and flavors of forest fruits. Soft integrated tannins with a long finish. Silky smooth. I get no cocoa or chocolate like some of the other comments who tasted this vintage 5 or 6 years ago.
