The 2012 Arctos is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot. This opens with aromas of black cherry, anise and blackberry. Flavors of blackberry, and cassis persist with a lovely dense mouthfeel. As of now, this shut wine is down with a vibrant acid backbone that tells me that this is a long-ager. One for the patient consumer. (Best 2017-2028) - August, 2015 (OB)
