Rather ordinary. It was tart on release but has yet to develop much interest. Not sure if it will. Some cherry and herb, but really kind of closed off still. Not changed over two days.

Bought from winery during a visit in 2013. Stored in Eurocave since. I too was a bit worried but this was drinking beautifully. Rhubarb, spice, biting (in a good way) tannin. Drank over two nights. Great bottle.

Excellent and not anywhere near “past its peak” as a recent TN suggested, which prompted me to open this. One of the best 2011s I’ve had from OR. Drinking beautifully! Cool climate beauty.

Drank half first night, finished second night. Consistent both nights, with just-starting-to-fade red fruits dominating that we both love. Well balanced - My guess is it’s a year or two past prime? Have one more bottle that I’ll hold onto for another year just to see if other flavors emerge.

Came across slight better than prior bottles. Bright And acidic, quite fresh on the palate. Red cherry notes with hints of forest. Quite nice but lacks a bit of complexity on the palate and finish.
