  Opened at Clarity 2/14/22. Opened up nicely, still a touch of tannins. Finished 2/16/22. Maintained its St Julien body.

  Drank this at Diamond Kitchen (Science Park) with my wine mates. Theme of the evening: Old World wines.
  
  Dark purple in colour, with notes of oak, plums, dark coffee, and some minerals. Beautiful nose with good structure and body. Long finish.

  Served as part of a larger line up. Dark garnet. Oak, oak and then some more oak. This is rather extracted for the vintage, trying to be more it can in the measly 2011 vintage. I think you can buy a supermarket wine instead of this, same commercial style. Very unfitting bling bling label too, apparently designed by Jade Jagger. Makes the wine look like to be a bottle to be served at a Russian night club instead of a dinner table.

  1hr+ decant and needed more. Dark purple color. Lovely nose of violets, coffee, oak, and tar. Wine is harsh on the palate and lacks fruit and depth. Was more spicy than I would have expected. Develops earthy and smoke flavors with air, but had a medium minus finish. Not bad value, but expected more.
