  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -med dark red
  -red-fruited with a bit of wet stone
  -med/med+ acidity, med/med- weight sappy tangy fading red-black fruit with some earthy minerality notes of early maturity, somewhat coarse med tannins provide some rusticity
  -early on its mature plateau might improve a bit as tannins further resolve

  First of a case purchased in France in 2015. Pop and pour into Grassl Cru stems, served a bit below room temp to accompany roast chicken with mushrooms with paprika butter and lemon confit. Very pretty red fruited nose, touches of spice and earth, medium body in the mouth, nice density in the mid-palate. Youthful and energetic, but not tight at all. Quite elegant. Was excellent with the food, especially liking the lemon confit. Glad we drank this pretty fast as it shut down hard after about 45 minutes and the last sips were much harder, with the fruit receding. I'll wait another couple of years on the next bottle, but I think this was a very good example of how many people underestimated the 2011 vintage. While not plush or ripe, there is plenty of nicely framed fruit and good balanced structure. I very much enjoyed this bottle.

  Tight right now. Good wine with red fruit and some earthiness. Tannic right now. Opens up after 1-2 hours and becomes more smooth but leave for now.
