This 2012 Valbuena
launches forth with a bouquet of lavender and hints of dark molten chocolate
then transitions to succulent flavors that include figs, deep blueberry
compote, tobacco leaf, toasted coconut and baking spices on the finish.

Aromas of plum, blueberry, and baking spices are followed by a finely-layered palate of lush berry fruit and vanilla bean.

There is a ton of potential here that will take a decade to unpack, but is thrilling tonight with some decanting.

Reminiscent of the highest rated Harlan vintages, this nearly flawless behemoth embodies the triumvirate that one looks for: historic vintage, spectacular vineyards, and a renowned winemaker hitting his stride!

Lavish aromas of black cherry, cedar spice, figs, and tobacco.
