Drank this bottle during two days. It was decanted for about one hour. Showed initially a lovely bouquet of leather,sandalwood and red fruit. On the palate medium bodied, very smooth and rich, vibrant and firm tannins, layers of elegant oak, leather, sweet red fruit and hints of spices. On the second night, after one night in the fridge, I can´t say that the smell would have improved. Some oak, sandalwood and leather coming through. Medium bodied palate, with all the yesterday flavors, perhaps a bit more spice and barnyard emerging with a dusty tannic finish. Overall, it is starting to come around and can certainly hold for many years in the cellar.

Absolutely no bricking on the rim. This thing is still a baby. Decanted and it was still somewhat tight. Earth, red and dark fruit, nice acidity, and a touch of that French barnyard on the nose that we all love. I'd give it another 3-5 years before peak, but it can probably go another 8-10. 90-92 pts. PJP 2013.

UWS 2011-01 (@ JB): Beautiful bouquet with elegant oak, leather, good cassis, perfume and a little pleasant barnyard. Same on the palate with good tannin and bitterness. Already a beautiful wine and with a long future. 91+
