Nice to see the 2012 vintage hit the shelves. I was a big fan of the 2010 edition of this wine, and a tad disappointed with the 2011, which, while still quite drinkable, was rather thin and lean in comparison. The 2012 vintage seems to fall between the two stylistically - a bit less ripe and fleshy than the 2010, but a noticeable improvement over the 2011. I love the cleanness and purity of fruit (a Malivoire trait), with none of that leafy greenness that gamays sometimes exhibit. Food-friendly, and a pleasant sipper on its own - what's not to like?
