Hung in there against some tough competition (an '05 Langoa Barton) paired with ribeye. Solid effort, drinking well now, tough to see this continuing to evolve

Deep ruby color. Nose of fresh black cherry, chocolate with green notes. Dry, distinct acidity, grainy tannins, palate follows through. Medium full body. Ok balance (angular with acid and tannic bumps). Medium finish. Not too shabby for a difficult vintage.

2011 Bordeaux - Meh (My Home): Slightly earthy with some black cherries. Starts of sweet on the palate, with a nice texture but turns to cherry cough syrup. Tannic. We wondered if this ages well or not. The nose seemed advanced but plenty of tannins.

Excellent - 94 pts. Still could age longer. Very fruity, tannic, full-bodied.

Needed some air to open up. Medium bodied and surprisingly good for the vintage

Institute of Masters of Wine - 2011 Bdx Tasting (Hyatt, San Francisco): Medium plus concentration ruby. Beautiful nose. Slightly stinky in a warm, barnyardy way. Dark, deep, and open. Elevated tannins.
