2012 vintage, despite what listing says. We used to serve the 2009 vintage at a restaurant I worked at, but this is a very different wine. The nose has the same eucalyptus and strawberry jam quality, but the palate is far more subdued and much greener and less ripe. At 13.5 it's a full percentage point lower in alcohol, so it's possible it was a cooler vintage. I kinda miss the jammy quality.

Just opened our first of 12 bottles. Aging well. Hints of caramel, cherry and licorice. Paired extremely well with beef tenderloin. Looking forward to opening the remaining bottles. 2012
