"Moderately saturated medium red. Aromas of redcurrant, strawberry and clove. Sweet and rich for 2011 but with lovely saline sappiness to its ripe flavors of strawberry, raspberry and spices. A substantial grand cru but less densely packed than the 2012 version; this will be much more approachable in its youth. Finishes with sweet tannins and a lingering note of cherry pit. A lovely showing, but without quite the mineral pungency I found from barrel a year ago." - Vinous
