9.6

Epic. Needs an hour to open. Nose is pure spatburgunder. Licorice. A hint of green. Pepper. Palate is Uber fresh and concentrated cherries. Mineral. Focused licorice. Pure. The stuff of genius. Bought from Fass Selections. — 8 years ago

What? The 2011 is a 9.6? Not green?

On open it was a bit off. Needed an hour. This is not a fruit-driven wine. All about that cherry licorice and finesse. I was a bit surprised it evolved as it did.

When the price of this doubles in a few years grown men and women will be weeping that they didn’t buy more. Myself included. Explosive fruit and minerality. More than enough balancing acidity for the 15 acidity alarmists. As this opens it has palate expansiveness. My gut is that this will improve with more age. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. Ok an hour in this is killing it. Profound wine. — 9 years ago

@Noah Raizman @Aravind Asok freshness can also come from minerality and not just acid. Top 15’s have good acids not great but the freshness is terrific because of the mineral expression. I love the vintage. More in Côte d’Or than Chablis if I had to pick.

More on the delicious end of the scale on open. Very fruity tangerine. Citrus. Awesomely mineral of course. Nice acidity. Lovely nose. As it opens becoming more serious. Rocky finish. ... fast forward 15 minutes. Ok ... now it’s liable. I’m chewing on rocks in a lemon vineyard. Best lemons ever. Sweet lemons with the acidity of regular lemons. Ok that makes no sense unless you are a lemon geek. Nose is insane. Gods lemon oil. Mad love. Bought from Fass Selections. — 8 years ago

Love this Zinfandel. Spicey berry and medium bodied. Not too fruity like a lot of Zinfandel. Getting more! — 12 years ago
