AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Purchased directly from Promontory winery, Napa Valley. Stores properly!
The 2012 Promontory is praised for its powerful yet elegant balance, showcasing rich dark fruit (cassis, plum) mingled with earthy notes like wet stone, loamy soil, tobacco, and forest moss, alongside fine, structured tannins and prominent minerality. It's described as full-bodied, complex, and capable of significant aging, with notes of spice, cocoa, and long, persistent finishes, blending wildness with precision.
Key Tasting Notes:
Aromas: Blackcurrant, plum, wet stone, loamy soil, tobacco leaf, forest moss, cassis, resin, faint floral hints (violet).
Palate: Full-bodied, concentrated, harmonious, with balanced acidity, powerful yet supple tannins, and a distinct minerality.
Flavors: Dark berries, black fruit cream, hints of chocolate, toasted oak, tea, and spice.
Structure: Fine, silky, chiseled tannins, excellent depth, and a long, mineral-driven finish.
Overall Impression: A wine of immense power and elegance, capturing the wildness of its unique terroir, offering a blend of Napa fruit with structured minerality reminiscent of top Bordeaux.
Aging & Potential:
Considered accessible young (with decanting) but built to age beautifully for decades, with potential for 30+ years.
Critical Acclaim:
Received high scores, including 100 points from James Suckling and 98 points from Wine Advocate (via Tastingbook
