Greer fruit... 2nd to last vintage. Aaron obviously produces both. Like the Greer 12 slightly moreοΏΌ.

@Brian Messineo stellar gift from Brian!
Thanks bud! I'm excited to try it. It's my 1st Potts wine. I've seen it but had never tried it. AWESOME 2011 to say the least!!
I pick up dark cherries, spice and a touch of tar-(I think) on the palate. Very, very good and another incredible display of what a great winemaker can do in a tough vintage.
Thanks Brian!!πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Really rich, too much so, and I think they did a better job in 2011 in the cold vintage. This is generic Napa glop at a not so small $ and I usually love Pott

Amazing. Plenty of power and concentration, but so suave and plush in the delivery.

Still a baby. As a young adult really starting to appreciate the vintage. Big, juicy and balanced.

Polarizing vintage for this wine. Old school Napa/Bordeaux style. Green/vegetal notes can be a turnoff but the fruit lingers underneath. Could turn out to be quite interesting. Tweener for me right now though.

Texture, finish. Glad I have more. Lots more years left.
