This is a 4- Not as good as the 09 or 10. It’s still a nice blend and very well balanced. It just lacks the fruit and staying power of a better year.

I thought this 2011 Tapestry was superb. I’ve long been a fan of Tapestry and this bottle only supported my admiration! I didn’t get any of the green or herbaceous notes a couple of notes below mentioned. It seems to me to be in a wonderful zone between delectable fruit, unobtrusive remaining tannins, and a finish that hints at the beginnings of some lovely “age-appropriate” tertiary flavors.

At twelve years, the fill level, foil, label and cork were ideal and this was most likely at the apex but end of its prime drinking window and likely to start to diminish from this point forward.
Tonight's tasting was consistent with my earlier one that I posted in 2016. Dark garnet colored, medium bodied, tight, structured black berry core with tones of cassis, graphite and clove spice and a hint of cedar and creosote on the moderate smooth tannin laced finish." https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2023/10/beaulieu-vineyards-bv-tapestry-reserve.html

Still very herbaceous and green. Tannins are a little too soft and flabby. Finish is short. Could be the year but too green for me even now, five years after my last note.
