I think I had the wine outside the drinking window (Apr 2024). There was a great nose, but when drinking, the palate was just non-existent. The finish left a sharpness on the tongue that made it unpalatable. Probably would have been good a year or two ago.

This wine is finally reaching its potential! 11 was a very cool year so we needed to be patient. But if you were, your patience is now rewarded! Don’t decant. Just open and let it breathe for a few minutes and it is ready

I bought a case of these as futures eons ago and have been waiting patiently. This is the third bottle we opened and it by far the best. The cool 2011’s have really required lots of time and when I opened the last one I started to think they would never get there. This bottle however was exceptional. If you have any of these, they are finally ready! Opened and poured. Waited 15 minutes and the wine is open and ready. Should drink within a few hours as it is still subtle and delicate.

Bought these as futures ages ago. They are finally getting close! Still a little muted and there is a chance it will never turn into what I originally hoped but still a great wine that is still improving

Pale ruby
Medium intensity aromas of plum, cherry, violets, toast. Smooth low tannins, medium acidity, medium body with a medium + finish.
This wine is just going over the peak, slight but noticeable VA. definitely drink it now if you have it.
