developed over last 4 1/2 years. Now absolutely delicious. Both cherries and plums on nose, with lovely secondary flavors including meat,spice, and sous bois. Lovely rich fruit with softening tannins and great minerality.Long finish.

2011 Les Saint Georges tasting: Ferric and stony mineral aromas, black cherries and other dark fruit and violets as a top note. Mineral and sleek on palate, supported by earthy, secondary elements. I detected no pyrazines. Helen was less impressed talking about 'green pennyroyal' and seeing a little too much oak, thinking it 'a little too showy'. John K liked the 'cool, iron character' of this wine. I agreed with with Clive that the wine needs another five years to be at its best. Me: Silver. Group: No award 1 Bronze 1 Silver 6 Gold 3 = (32 score, rank 8/12)

Lovely colour. Big rich Nose offers up small black fruits. Again palate loaded with fruit and good balance of acid/tannins but has a slight greeny/herbal flavours similar to a lot of 04's ? Retry in 2/3 yrs.
