Score 90-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014
Good deep ruby-red. Very subdued nose hints at blackberry and cassis. Thicker and more densely packed than the 2011; in a distinctly rounder style but showing less energy today. Finishes with substantial ripe tannins and a peppery edge. Strong potential here but in an awkward phase.

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Cuvee l’Etrier exhibits more charcoal, graphite and smoke characteristics along with the vintage’s superb ripeness, sweet tannins and well integrated acidity. This rich, nicely layered, impressive 2012 should provide enjoyment over the next 20 years. These are the products of Bordeaux’s well-known wine consultant, Denis Malbec, and his wife, May-Britt. www.notrevinwines.com
