Not ready by any stretch, but already enjoyable. Tight, but fantastic structure and fine tannins.

Modern, rich and dark. Granular tannic structure and some wet earth. Needs time.

2011 vintage, Vega Sicilia portfolio tasting, Berry Bros. & Rudd, St James's. Elegant, fresh with dark fruits and a floral lift. A touch of wood/vanilla. Fresh and tight on the palate. Fine and grippy tannins. Some sweet black fruits, spices. A bit tight (still) but will develop well over the next 3 years and beyond. Medium bodied.

Very rich and decadent, over the top. Has underlying quality raw materials but definitely overdone, not our thing and for us not worth the reputation.
