Fruit forward aromas of black cherries, blue berries, some herbs, & pepper on the nose. Some black cherries & blue berries with herbs, minerals, noticeable tannins, & fruit cake on the finish. Medium acid. A good wine. Enjoying the fruit cake finish.

Ordered the 2010, but got the 2012. A few more years may have helped.
Not as complex as hoped. Did not pair well with swordfish
