Oxidised. Did not improve with time. Left to air and warm up it drank well with an aged Comte, which is Vin Jaune territory. Past its best. Not a patch on the earlier bottle.

From bottle. Pale colour, slight scent of early oxidation (minimal). Initially muted nose but with time and air the wine developed a more buttery anc slightly caramel edge. This wine was interesting/very pleasant but not really exciting. It did not sing to me like others have from this vintage and vineyard. Drink now and enjoy.

Roberson Summer Walkabout Tasting 2011 (London): Dense and nutty palate. Serious wine but perhaps not revealing it's full potential - needs decanting?
