This is incredibly complex and complete with white and black-truffle aromas, as well as wet earth and blackcurrants. Then, it changes to tobacco, cedar and wild forest fruit. Dazzling complexity in both the nose and palate. Full-bodied, yet tight and harmonious. The tannins melt into the wine. Drinkable now, but one for the cellar. This estate could one day rival Harlan, which shares its ownership.
這款酒極為複雜，香氣飽滿，散發著白松露和黑松露的芬芳，以及濕潤泥土和黑醋栗的氣息。隨後，煙草、雪松和野生森林水果的香氣逐漸顯現。香氣和口感都展現出令人驚豔的複雜性。酒體飽滿，卻緊緻和諧。單寧與酒體完美融合。現在即可飲用，但更適合窖藏。這家酒莊未來或許能與同屬一個集團的哈蘭酒莊相提並論。
RP97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Promontory, which is the softest vintage to date, was slightly better this year than last year, as it had rounded out. It does not have the depth of the 2013, but it is a great wine on its own merits. Notes of new saddle leather, loamy soil, and crushed rock intermingle with blackcurrants, plum, tobacco leaf and spice in a full-bodied, wonderfully pure and large-scaled style with ripe, well-integrated tannin. It is accessible enough to enjoy, and in spite of its massiveness, it is certainly capable of evolving beautifully for 30 or more years.
2012 年Promontory是迄今為止最柔軟的年份，今年比去年略好，因為它已經完成了。它沒有 2013 年的深度，但它本身就是一款很棒的葡萄酒。新的馬鞍皮革、肥沃的土壤和碎石的香氣與黑醋栗、李子、菸葉和香料混合在一起，酒體飽滿、純淨而飽滿，單寧成熟而完美融合。它很容易讓人享受，儘管它很大，但它肯定能夠在 30 年或更長時間內完美地進化。
Winemaker Notes
A rich garnet color and youthful brilliance define the appearance in glass. As is typical with the youthful wines of Promontory, the nose is subtle yet intricate. Several minutes after pouring, the different facets begin to emerge. Though one might discern distinct aromas of wet stone, cassis, and hints of resin, the nose seems to more appropriately transport one to the place itself. There is a feeling of moist fog, bringing both humidity and the scents of the native landscape, while projecting in the mind’s eye a vision of sunlight without heat. On the palate, this vintage is decidedly forward. The acidity is forthcoming on entry and balanced by the sheer muscle and density of fruit. The tannins have a chiseled definition, but remain soft and pliant, delivering a long and persistent finish. While the 2012 reveals its precocious virtues, it is unable to hide the underlying truth that patience will provide great reward.
豐富的石榴石色和年輕的光彩定義了玻璃的外觀。就像海岬年輕的葡萄酒一樣，香氣微妙而復雜。倒出幾分鐘後，不同的面開始出現。雖然人們可能會分辨出濕石、黑醋栗和樹脂的味道，但鼻子似乎更適合將人帶到這個地方本身。有一種潮濕的霧氣，帶來潮濕和原生景觀的氣味，同時在腦海中投射出沒有熱量的陽光的景象。在味覺上，這個年份絕對是前衛的。入口時酸度即將到來，並由純粹的肌肉和水果的密度平衡。單寧具有輪廓分明的定義，但仍保持柔軟和柔順，提供持久而持久的餘味。雖然 2012 年揭示了其早熟的美德，但它無法隱藏潛在的真相，即耐心將帶來巨大的回報。
