Oct 2012. What an appealing wine -- richly fruited, with the oak noitceable but not overwhelming. Lots of juicy acidity to balance it out. Nice mix of traditional and modern wine making. Perhaps not quite enough complexity to push it over 90 points, but really delicious and balanceed. The proof for me is that the 14% alcohol is not intrusive at all.

April 2013: Good deep colour, only just starting to lighten at the rim. Initial wiff utterly classic -- blackberries, smoke, tobacco & cedar. With time some earthiness developed. Palette is a little more New-World-ish, with the oak evident, and lots of ripe fruit beneath. Med to full bodied -- you can tell it's a ripe vintage. Lingering spiciness on the finish, with the tannins still quite noticeable. This will probably go another 5 with no problem. Enjoyable, but not quite delivering in the complexity department to hit the 90 point threshold.
