| TASTING NOTE: The 2012 Pauline's Cuvée is a sexy Merlot-based red, another solid value from Atalon. Plump, juicy and resonant in the glass, the 2012 is an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next few years, while the fruit retains its juiciness. Hints of spice, new leather and dried flowers are all laced together nicely. Drinking window: 2014- 2020. Score - 90 (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Oct. 2014) |
