Emirates 1st- average year, great wine. Elegant, concentrated, seamless, perfectly balanced but still with an incredibly long finish. What good burgundy is all about. Right in its drinking window. Absolutely delicious….

Nose: licorice, gasoline, black fruits, mint, tar Notes: Tasted blind and was told by the owner that she double decanted this wine 2 hours prior to drinking. Very full bodied and still quite tannic with the kind of tar and gasoline notes that I'm typically not a big fan of. Black fruits started to pop up in the 3rd hour but even so I did not think this was overly interesting. Plenty more time is needed for this wine to be in the right drinking window so this should go into the cellar for at least another 7-8 years. Drink: 2032+ Rating: 89

Double decanted before serving. Incredible aromatics with flowers, red fruit, stems, violets, and perfume. On the palate, it was dense with good purity and transparency. Possibly one of the wine of the vintage. It is one of the very few 2011 that has aging potential. 94+

Had this again. Consistent. So much beautiful ripeness with perfect acidity and a little umami. Spice. Really well done in this vintage.

hard to believe this is a 2011 vintage. The Domaine did a great job here selecting very strong fruits with perfect ripeness.
