...It's a blockbuster-styled Cornas that doesn't pull any punches in its sexy, ripe and textured personality. Black raspberry, cassis, licorice, ground herbs and sweet oak all emerge from this polished 2012, and while it dishes out plenty of pleasure now due to its wealth of fruit, it will have 10-15 years of longevity. eRobertParker.com

Out the gate I couldn't stop thinking about various grilled steaks and chops I wanted to pair this with ~ 8 hours in it delivers a lot more elegance ~ definitely will be fun following for some time to come

Fairly intense nose nose of crushed raspberries. Really tannic - will amend my comments after it's had a chance to breathe in the decanter...
