The 2012 vintage is a wine with enormous aromatic impact. Earthy black raspberries, blackcurrants, crushed violets, tobacco-leaf, dusty plums give way to nuances of tea, dried orange peel, black cherry, and mocha. The entry is simultaneously seamless and powerful, with massive flavors of ripe black cherries. Hallmarks such as immense fruit concentraƟon, amazing balance, present but supple tannins could very well be indicaƟons that this is the finest Tenacious produced to date. The 2012 Tenacious will drink effortlessly over the next 15 years.
