91 Points

Thursday, May 8, 2014 - UCGB tasting Bordeaux 2011 (Amsterdam): The notes here contradict each other, so I'll add mine as well ;-). I do not think this is a bad wine and I do not think this wine should be drunk young. There is cassis and other dark forest fruit in the nose. Oak and espresso as well. On the palate dark berry fruits, lead pencil, sweet spices, bell pepper, good oak and a firm dose of sticky and drying tannin, but the wine is also juicy. Wines like this need 12 years to open up. So try in 2023 and you will have a nice surprise. Will last at least until 2028. 90 - 91+ for now.
