Another superb showing from a 2011 red burg. This vintage seems to have really turned a corner. No doubt in a leaner style but absolutely zero greenness or underripe character, but rather exceptionally elegant and detailed with a beautiful perfume and silky palate.

Along with this one, my favorite 2011 reds in the past year…
