  March 4, 2024 - Decanted 1/2 hour and drank over the next 1 or 2. Each sip was better than the last. Exceptional flavors, dry, elegant with wonderful balance.

  October 3, 2022 - Considering the year (2011), if comparing it to other 2011's, I would give it a 98-99. My prior bottle was so, so a number of months ago. This bottle was spectacular! The depth and the complexity of the flavors was very surprising! The cabernet Sauvignon had pronounced dark berries that were matched the spice notes from the Cabernet Franc , and the petit verdot provided the olive tapanade notes. The merlot seemed to contribute some nice blue berry notes along with some cedar flavors. A good 45 seconds on the tongue of pure enjoyment. I wish that I had another 3-6 bottles... Will try and find some.

  July 3, 2022 - This wine is getting better with the aging. I will try to postpone consuming my last bottle until at least 2024. The flavors and aromas are still valid and the tannins are calm with a balanced acidity.
