Nicely stained cork, tight in the bottle, some residue when decanted. When I consume an 11 year old wine, I'm inclined to decant. I took a sip on the pop and pour, couldn't resist. I was a little disappointed versus the 2015 I had recently. Not much structure, may be past it's prime. Tasted a little thin. Nothing bad, but not much acidity and so soft it just didn't leave me wanting more. Nothing evolved over the next 3 hours, nose and taste remained unchanged.

Tuscan Bordeaux blend from a magnum bottle. Pretty round, nicely aged and smooth. Flavors of tobacco leather black cherry blackberry and black tea. Lacks a bit of oomph.

Well crafted, but the 2011 was better

Young, tannic, and medium-bodied with plenty of structure to deliver 90+ in a few years. Currently, requires a long decant.

This wine is lacking in finesse and complexity compared to 2011. Still, a nice glass,...
