After having such a pleasant surprise with the 2012 Diablo Royale, curiosity drew me to the 2013 vintage. I thought the 2012 was such an overachiever, but, ....could I realistically expect the 2013 to perform at such a high level? Well, good news, the 2013 is just as exciting, but with a few unique differences for 2013. The velvety berries of 2012 shift slightly to more tart cherries, hints of berries, chocolate, earth notes, and hints of licorice. Both delightful in their own right, with diverse tasting notes, pairing great with Gouda cheese. Glennhawk Wineries has another winner with a wine that would be very high value at 50.00 a bottle. At the retail price, this is one to definitely try. This French Bordeaux style, with French Oak is a great reminder of why this style is so popular. Best of all, my wife loves it too...... Cheers.....
