The 2012 Right Bank is plump, juicy and attractive. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather flesh out in an attractive, mid-weight wine to drink now and over the next few years. Mocha, red cherry, plum and spice meld into the fleshy, creamy finish in this succulent, Merlot-based blend. The first hints of aromatic maturity have begun to develop.
The 2012 Right Bank is dark, juicy and expressive, with plenty of sweet dark cherry, rose petal, mocha, spice and chocolate notes. Although quite open-knit and ripe today, the 2012 has enough depth to drink well for at least another handful of years. The 2012 has put on quite a bit of weight over the last twelve months. Today, it is deep and resonant throughout, with the radiance of the vintage very much on display.
A big step up from the 2011, the 2012 Right Bank is fleshy, radiant and expressive. Dark red cherry, mocha, plum, smoke, leather and licorice meld together in a supple, open red with lovely mid-palate depth and density. This mid-weight Cabernet Franc/Merlot blend is an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. The blend is 67% Cabernet Franc and 33% Merlot.
