Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - This is a solid, proper bottle of claret. Classic, classy, tobacco, and dust on the nose. Tannic and somewhat dry on the palate. I think the fruit has clearly lost the battle, yet this has considerable freshness and purity, a classic expression of Cabernet. Mineral, cherry, rocks, and fading notes of blood. This has none of the weight of a great vintage of Poyferré, but it is solid, clean, proper. Quite enjoyable.
