"Looking at the 2012, all of which were still in barrel at the time of this tasting, the 2012 possesses the classic perfume and elegance of the estate, with sweet kirsch, strawberry, spice, garrigue and candied flowers all emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, supple and beautifully textured, with fine tannin, it should easily be outstanding and have over a decade of longevity."
