This is showing beautifully right now, with a beguiling blend of orange peel, cassis, and anise aromas that carry over to the palette, where black cherries, balsamic notes, and a delicate mix of earthy autumnal spices provide a sensuous background. Soft mouthfeel with fine tannins that peek out a bit on the long finish, where the spiced citrus seems to last forever. Paired perfectly with pan-roasted wild mushrooms and dry-aged ribeye. — 2 days ago

Last had nearly two years ago, and this seems even more closed than then. Decanted 5 hours but didn’t really open all that much. Tons of cherry on the nose, which is nice. But the palate is quite unexpressive and the finish is overwrought with dusty tannins still. Another 5 years? — 5 months ago

Pulled the 2011 out of the cellar. What a treat. Great dark berries and plum. Tannins have pretty much dissipated with age. Nice oak. Just what I was hoping it would taste like. The fruit and vanilla on the nose is amazing.  — 6 months ago
