As with the '09 and '10 vintages of this, the phrase "heavy silk" again applies. Just luscious and big, but not weighty. Picked up some graphite while I was decanting; in the glass, the nose is more sweet, almost candy-like. On the tongue it's just big fruit and mellow tannins, smooth and enjoyable.
