It’s hard to believe this is a 2011. So balanced, nuanced, yet powerful.

Jun 4th, 2018Quite good, but no where near great (and no where near worth what I paid for it at this point). Have two more of this vintage and will see how they develop. Better half was underwhelmed as well - "Here, you can finish mine..." Ouch.

Feb 12th, 2016Half price so I took a chance, definitely an off year. Seems some let the name dictate the score. It is what it is

Mar 17th, 2020Still a bit tannic but nice balance. The quality of the fruit is very apparent even for an off vintage. Nice wine

Sep 18th, 2016Really - this is not 2011 vintage. Savory and expressive elegance ripe fruit NO bell pepper as I expect with 2011. This is an absolute beauty very old world. Martha hit a homerun on this one. Cranberry cobbler.
