95 Points

Saturday, October 29, 2011 - Aromas of dark sweet fruit with forest floor and damp earth.
Impressive dark red fruits in very well balanced package of spice, earth, and well integrated mineral features.
Actually came accross much younger then vintage as rich fruit and smooth rich mouthfell and long spiced finish was so pleasing. In a very good place. A real outperformer for the vintage. I noticed the pulled cork seemed like new, spongy and came out clean with tight fit. Not soaked through. Branded correctly. This wine still has a long life, but lely at plateau. As other bullish comments indicate, this may be the wine of the vintage in Bordeaux.
