Needs more time in the bottle. The 2011 vintage is still very tannic. Should double decant if you plan to open. Would like to revisit in 3 or so years.

A little hot, a little stewed, but not so much that it wasn't enjoyable with Moroccan lamb.

Round and juicy. Not as much 'dirt' as I would like, but straight-forward and enjoyable.

07. Tastes of cherry RC cola sms burnt wood. Probably past it’s prime but still really good with a mushroom paparadelle.

Rather Burgundian. Elegant. Cherry fruit. Garrigue. A tiny bit of leather. Long finish.
