The 2011 (L CP 11-01-09) was tasted alongside the 2009 (L MCP 0903). Both wines were decanted and served immediately, both were wonderful, silky, luxurious, and understated. Both show hints of barnyard, smooth bittersweet cherries and wild strawberries.
The 2011 is slightly lighter in weight, with just enough acid and tannin structure to accompany dinner, and a more mineral finish. Drink to 2027. 92.
The 2009 is a bit “more” in every way: slightly bigger, a bit sweeter, a bit more acid and tannin structure, and slightly spicier. Drink to 2029. 94.

Well, I held on to this longer than I thought I would. Not disappointed. Nice burgundy red with just a hint of clear around the edges. On the nose cherry banana custard. Very smooth with a nice acidic bite. This is not just a drink on release wine.

Showing well, and seems like it will continue to grow nicely. Still youthful and bright. Lighter bodied than I expected, possibly the vintage.

In a really good spot right now. Plenty of fruit with uplifting background acidity and tertiary notes of wet leaves and Bramble.
