Excellent nose. Cassis comes through strongly. So, so much better than the last time we tried a bottle. Had with a New York strip, roasted potatoes and Caesar salad during COVID-19 Shelter In Place

Decanted 1 hour. Very nice nose of cassis and bell pepper. On the palate this was quite thin with some red fruit showing. The finish was short with smooth tannins. Faded noticeably after a couple of hours. Wasn't expecting too much from the 2011 vintage but this was quite disappointing. Might have been an off bottle but it did not show any signs of being flawed.

Luscious, dense, deep floral notes, blackberry, black currant, licorice, rich and full bodied but excellent balance. Slight blueberry, plum note showing in the 10% or so Merlot. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon.

Opened 3 hours before steak Christmas dinner.
Never opened up and became smooth. Did not exhibit much cassis or “Napa dust.”
Overall, disappointing and a poor QPR.
