Opened for 2 hours before tasting. Dark garnet fading to brick color. Cherry, Earth, cedar, vanilla...this wine has quite a bit going on. Palate adds graphite and grippy tannins leading to a slightly astringent long aftertaste.

Easy to drink with its fruit forward, medium bodied, chocolate covered cherry and licorice filled round personality. This is a wine of pleasure, not a wine for aging.

Medium/full-bodied, with an open personality, the wine is filed with oak, licorice and jammy berries. At the moment, the oak dominates the fruit in the finish. 88-90 Pts

2012 En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 4/4/2013-4/9/2013 (Bordeaux, France): Silky, excellent concentration, red fruits, lead pencil, cool fruit impression, noticeable but controlled tannins.
