At least still 2-3 years from fully integrated. Bouquet is quite mute. Intense palate with good fruits, moderate acidity and a heavy body (for a Malconsorts). The use of oak was controlled but not as balanced as Cathiard 11.

Good to try this in blind yet my view is largely similar. Dark fruit, hint of greenness, wood spice, minerals and candied fruit. Palate is powerful especially for a 2011 and it shows pleasant sweetness. Decent for the vintage.

Aroma of red fruits. Aroma is super reserved. High acidity, high and abrupt tanning. Palate not deep and broad. Short finish.

A peppery nose with black fruits. The palate was green with I ripe tannins and a bitter finish. This may have been my worst 2011 bottle to date. Yuck.
