@Brian Messineo stellar gift from Brian!
Thanks bud! I'm excited to try it. It's my 1st Potts wine. I've seen it but had never tried it. AWESOME 2011 to say the least!!
I pick up dark cherries, spice and a touch of tar-(I think) on the palate. Very, very good and another incredible display of what a great winemaker can do in a tough vintage.
Thanks Brian!!👍👏👏👍

Still a baby. As a young adult really starting to appreciate the vintage. Big, juicy and balanced.

Polarizing vintage for this wine. Old school Napa/Bordeaux style. Green/vegetal notes can be a turnoff but the fruit lingers underneath. Could turn out to be quite interesting. Tweener for me right now though.

Young but phenomenal. Give her at least a few hours of oxygen right now and you will be richly rewarded.
