Working myself through the case. Surprising how consistently it has held up, not at all fading, and remaining fruit-forward (after 30 minutes) with tannins receding. Will definitely buy again for everyday.

Nose and initial flavors of cassis and plums. Good length. I have had this wine on several occasions and I think it is beginning to lose fruit. The mid-range is characterized by moderate, non-bitter tannins which are becoming more pronounced over time. I would recommend consuming this wine over the next year or two.

This continues to be an excellent, relatively inexpensive generic Bordeaux. However, it is a bit short in the mid-range and less fruit forward than the 2009 or 2010. I would recommend drinking in the next 3-5 years.
