Tasting notes
Constant's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is endowed with tons of inky blue/black fruits, iron, game, smoke, tobacco and licorice. A firm tannic spine gives the wine its structure and support, and while there is plenty of depth, the 2012 is quite open relative to many earlier vintages. I expect the 2012 will offer highly rewarding drinking for the next decade-plus.

The brilliant 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a dense ruby/purple color, gloriously pure aromas of blueberry liqueur, blackcurrants, incense and white flowers, medium to full body, good concentration, and a fresh, exuberant personality. The finish goes on and on. This beauty should age effortlessly for 15-20 years.
Bright ruby. Very ripe, almost jammy aromas of black- and blueberry liqueur. The ripest of these 2012 and a bit liqueur-like for me today. Big tannins hit the palate late. This blend may be adjusted prior to bottling, according to Paul Hobbs.
