Nice to read, we have the '11 in the cellar for the birthyear of my daughter. I understood it was not a long living vintage, but your post shows the contrary 👍

9.0

Classic cherries, leather, dirt, sweet and sour, balsamic and American oak. Better after a couple hours on the decanter. It doesn't knock my socks off, but it's an amazing value at the price. — 9 years ago
