Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 91.3 points

  • Pure, elegant fruit character. Strong floral notes. Medium long finish. Very impressive in a challenging vintage

  • Decanted for two hours. A sanguine colour that darkens towards the core. Evocative aromas of lilac, wild berry, lamb shawarma, menthol and locker room. The middle palate is magnificent; the finish is long and layered. Thick, yet lithe, in a welcomed paradoxical manner. 2011 is a vintage that really challenged the the most talented vintners up and down the state, however, there are quite a few gems that will age rather well. Not concentrated and ponderous, she is focused and lighter in composition. This beauty will age for a proper study. Drink 2016 - 2031.
