評分：WS 96 / RP 96 2012 Wine Spectactor 2012年百大葡萄酒第16名

視覺：清澈，深紅寶石色，厚淚滴
嗅覺：純淨，中上濃度的黑櫻桃，香草，菇類與花香氣味，陳年中
味覺：不甜，中上酸性，高單寧，高酒精濃度，豐富酒體，中上濃度的李子，桑葚，香草，檜木與胡椒風味。長回味長度

結論：★★★★第二次試飲這瓶酒以後更能體會為什麼他的評分會這麼高。這瓶年輕的紅酒剛開瓶時味道有些平淡，但醒酒2小時之後所有的味道開始集中，在Sowine中真空貯存24小時之後所有的潛力才更加發揮。現在太年輕不宜開瓶，需再繼續貯存2-3年以上

WS 96, #16 of 2012 Top 100 / RP 96 

Appearance: Clear, dark ruby, thick legs

Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity of black cherry, vanilla, mushroom and floral notes. Developing stage.
Palate: Dry and medium+ acidity. High tannin, high alcohol and full bodied. With medium+ intensity of plum, blackberry, vanilla, cedar and peppery flavors. Long Finish.

Conclusion: ★★★★Tried this wine for the second time and more appreciated why it is so highly-rated.  The wine is too young to drink now so it tasted dull just opened.  All flavors start to concentrate significantly after decanting for 2 hours. It performed its best to me while I kept it vacuumed on my Sowine for 24 hours.  Don't open this wine now and let it sit for another 2-3 years.
