First of 6 purchased after drinking one off the list at Daniel (NYC) back in 2012. Drank at Chez Nous in Charleston and this has entered prime drinking window. Tannins fully resolved and both primary and secondary fruits are now evident. Open or hold.

An excellent bottle of this. We tasted this right after a Les Cailles 2011 the day before and tonight it was better the the highly regarded Les Cailles (that was admittedly from a much more difficult vintage). Deep, ripe and aromatic, this is showing pretty notes of dark plum, red and dark red cherries, sweet spices, leather, some gamey animalic notes, licorice, candied violets. It‘s medium-full bodied, with medium+ acidity and medium- tannin that is super ripe and integrated by now. Beautifully layered and deep, this is just singing tonight. Long finish with excellent balance.

Just starting to show nice development - damp caves, forest floor, braced by nice big plummy fruit

Oxidized. Color turned to brown. Capsule and cork were in great condition though.

Ready. Dark berries over succulent currant. Well integrated traditional burgundy.
