And I like it. But I understand Jimhow point of view on the 2007, as this 2012 is far away from the concentration of any red Bordeaux.
A medium red color, with medium intense aromas of cocoa, herbs, red berries, and spicy raw meat. In mouth, mixture of red berries, concentrated red cherries, wood, red peppers. Stay light in mouth, but still long, light to medium tanins. The final is flowery with lilac and violet flowers and light prune. I like that very drinkable style, while being quite intellectual wine. Even if it feel watery, it has some intensity too. A not easy to understand, very genuinely well made wine. Tn: 88.
