Estimate
This is an incredible 2012 with fantastic depth, richness, focus and tension. Full body, polished and velvety tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Goes on for minutes. Better in 2020 but a joy to taste now. One of the wines of the vintage.
A dense, backward red, with plenty of cherry, plum, spice and eucalyptus flavors. A broad swath of tannins and juicy acidity carry the long finish, but patience is required for all the facets to emerge.
Plush and rich in all the right places. It opens to a generous bouquet with tones of dark fruit and spice that contrast each other nicely...The mouthfeel is compact and firm. It wine shows good persistence in terms of finish.
Very dark on the nose and palate, with blueberry, blackcurrant and flnty notes dominating...red fruit nuances finally become more apparent but still remain mostly camouflaged by notes of darker fruit.
