A little disappointing, but not terrible. Started off with a fairly muted nose of red currants and cherries, which didn't evolve much after opening. What followed was pleasant enough, although a little austere. Just not a very memorable experience.

If you are looking for a ripe, lush sipper look elsewhere. However, if an interesting low alcohol savory drink is on your horizon, this is it. Laser- like black cherry cough drop taste. Menthol, olive, rhubarb, probiotic background. Very much appreciated 12.8% alcohol. 2011 is really coming into it's own.

Pleasantly surprised. I had low expectations, partly given the ratings on here. Also because the cab also had poor ratings for 2011, and I fully agreed with those ratings when I tried it. This, however, was quite enjoyable! I even enjoyed it more than Eagles trace of some other vintages. Very well balanced and delicious

Improved over the last five years, but it still is not very good at all.

Started off with a strange bitter tar funk, which blew off, but it was still a bit disappointing. Maybe an off bottle?
