  See tasting notes for that vintage and 2010.

  December 10, 2011 - Very bright coloring. Earthy and tar on the nose. Very sweet cake like taste, with light textures. Slightly tart finish held it back, could have use a decanting.

  March 7, 2011 - This looks, smells, and almost tastes like Pinot, but that's about it. Better than some of the value priced Pinot's from the south of France I've tasted lately, but there is not enough stuff here to make a serious Pinot. There is nothing wrong, it is clean, no flaws, but this is a very simple wine. It does opens up a little with time. Less than medium bodied. Has a very one dimensional plum fruit profile. You almost have to imagine the acid and tannins, although there are some tannins on the finish. Probably heavily filtered. I've had worse.
