Gilles Jayer's 2012 are impressive for their purity of fruit. The 2012s saw a total of 15 days on the skins. Incredibly, the wines were still finishing their malos when I stopped by in early December 2013, the longest malos I have personally seen in the 2012 vintage. The 2012s were aging in 100% new oak and had never been racked when I tasted them. Reviewing wines from barrel is by nature an approximation, but in this case, readers should take into consideration that the wines were still embryonic when I saw them. Still, I was struck by the sheer promise in these wines.
