and my predicted range assumes that will occur over time

The prodigious 2012 Les Manyes is an unusual single-vineyard Garnacha from a 50-year-old plot over the Montsant Mountains

with tons of depth

which makes it almost shockingly easy to enjoy even now (in relative terms)

Taupenot Merme, Gevrey Chambertin other_regions and my predicted range assumes(from Craite Paille, Les Seuvres, Belair and La Justice). This is also relatively elegant and cool with its combination of wild red cherry, sauvage and discreet spice whiffs. The precise and almost lilting middleweight flavors possess a lovely sense of tension while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere and balanced finale. This could arguably use a bit better depth, but more should develop with a few years of keeping.
