Slightly reticent nose with grapey and dark fruit framed by savory notes. Restrained with a good amount of fruit - dark cherry, red and black plumb. Fruit is encased in savory and cooking herbs like thyyme and bay leaf. strong spicy element like cayenne present from Mid to finish. Significant oak flavors and maybe a bit too much vanilla oakiness for my personal taste. Nice acidity and grippy tannins. A good weekday wine at a surprising weekday price point. Wasn’t as impressed as I was with the 2012, it maybe this will show more with Time?
