Love these wines. Rare to find with some age! 2011 is superb tonight, complexly aromatic wafting layers of dark fruit, olive tapenade, camphor, bacon fat and black truffle. The palate shows excellent density and concentration with balanced acids, melting tannins and a stunningly long finish. Beautiful wine.

2011: dense & rich, great intensity & weight but great backbone of acidity, tough to not drink it all today

Beautifully layered and complex showing black raspberries, wild herbs, violets, hints of camphor and a spice tinged finish. An absolute beauty and one of the very best in Saint-Joseph.
