90 Points

Friday, November 16, 2012 - Out of the gates: Great nose of crushed blueberries, rocks, red flowers, and a int of red fruit as well. As ridiculous as this sounds, it almost tastes like you dumped a container of blueberry juice on a rock and then bi the rock. Lots of minerally-stuff going on here which I like...A little lighter than expected on the palate, with less weight and depth than the '09 by a long shot and even a little disappointing in comparison to the '10. Given 20 minutes of air it starts to add some weight, and I think it's really just young here. The mouthfeel is standard Lapierre silk, and this is still and excellent bottle but has stiff competition from prior vintages... (38 views)
