2011 vintage in 2021 ran flat. Decent wine but past it’s prime.

Rich and silky, this vintage is softer and broader than I recall it being in other years. Lots of smooth, fully puréed black cherry and dark plum, some pomegranate juice and the signature I love so much: a bit of that sexy brined black olive. Still a total babe.
