The 2012 is particularly elegant and polished. The wine offers aromatics that builds in incremental intensity as it warms in the glass. Bright cherry and blackberry are followed by floral notes of rose hip and dried lavender. Mineral components of crushed granite and smoke linger delicately at the back. It has balanced acidity that will serve well in terms of the wine's overall longevity.
