Tasting Date: 15 January 2013
A breeze of forest floor mushrooms with quite a forward perfume of vibrant cherries. A brooding and deeper character in the Calvert this year. Linear and dark with a dense core. Youthful with evident structure, depth and length. This is possibly still a hold, though nobody opening it would complain.

Bright and vibrant, the wine has vivid florals, cherry and plum on the nose and a crystalline palate of pure, red cherry and spices with excellent drive. The finish contrasts with a persistence of ripe cherry chocolate and dusty tannins. Silky, yet without a hint of heaviness, this wine displays the classic Calvert character of elegance and energy.
