Tasting note
Powerful and precise, this 2012 is a complex quiltwork of fresh currants, dark cherry, meat, vanilla, chocolate, and woodsmoke. It's beautifully structured and wonderfully supple given its size - a muscular frame in a silk shirt. Cellar 5+ years, or, if you simply can't wait, decant and pair with grilled-rare meats and black truffles. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2014)
Under the cherry-red colour, the nose is intense and complex. Enjoy this dry, full-bodied and woody red featuring refreshing acidity. On the palate, it showcases firm tannins and a broad mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.
