Chez B. Bien carafé (+ 2h), je retrouve cette fluidité propre a Banneret, avec cependant ce fruité sudiste (liqueur), mur et concentré, l’esprit herbes provençales et les epices, le cèdre, le minéral: c’est très pur, solaire sans fatiguer.

Love 2011 CdPs...Even though this is 14.5% ABV, it doesn't come off like that. Some deep earth and sweet raspberry on the nice nose. On the palate, acidity is on point with a touch of coffee...and more red fruit. Shows the alcohol on the finish a bit with nice tannin, and a touch of heat. Very enjoyable.

Très châteauneuf, sur la finesse, avec petits fruits rouges confiturés/a l’alcool, herbes du soleil, cuir fin et fleurs. Belle équilibre entre concentration, fraîcheur et élégance, mais avec moins de magie que est 15 que j’adore (un poil plus classique peut-être ce 11?). Ce qui est beau tout de même ici, c’est que l’alcool n’est pas agressif, il semble contenu dans une rondeur caressante.

From coravin. Deep red colour. Nose is full of leather and barnyard funk, over some black fruit. Palate very refreshing and moreish. Acidity is high and tannins are firm. More fruit driven on the palate suggesting this should be left a little longer. Maybe another year or two? But it is quite irresistible now. Just a hint of the leather flavours on the finish. These will surely develop. Pretty sure this glass isn't going to last too long! Lots of potential here. 92 is a conservative estimate for drinking now. It's only going one way...!
Update after 30 mins in the glass: Much more developed, with 2nd and 3ry flavours of leather and tobacco coming through on the palate and beautiful long finish. Upgrade score to 93

Excellent nose
Very good palate inspire of a mediocre vintage
