Awkward and rather closed. Muted aromatics. Palate is fairly rich but not much going on. Disappointing considering how consistent this wine has been in other vintages even when young.

Perfect selection for a wide variety of foods. Love 2011 with great producers. Perfect for seafood as well as my pheasant dish.

A bit simple for Chateaneuf, but still lovely. A bit hard to decipher flavor as it's slightly closed. Maybe it needs more time.

Young and a bit tight. Not surprising. Great structure and fruit. Delish.

Still quite young and needs some time before it will really begin to see its full potential. Wonderful fruit notes and well balanced.
