Enjoying our 2011 in Tokyo. Holding up well. Finesse over power. Shari’s favorite.

Dusty with a hint of Xmas spice, a touch of power at 14.9 but that is hidden with the balance. After an hour of decanting it is softened. Give it another 5

Tough vintage, especially for the west side of the Valley in lower lying areas. This is a very elegant wine that is still deciding if it's going to be a 98 and blow us away in 15 yrs or a 2000 that needs to be drunk right away. Great job Frederic with what you had to work with.

Started fleshing out after about 30 minutes. For the vintage this is a solid wine.

More proof that you should pay attention to 2011 despite the critics and "challenging" nature of the vintage. Solid all the way around.
