Opened sometime prior to service. The 2011 “Héloïse” pours a deep garnet purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe and dessicated brambles, purple flowers, olive brine, leather, umami flavors of beef broth, black pepper and dry organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and sanguine. A big wine that’s really well made. Drink now through 2031+.

Over the top luxury and opulence, maybe bit too obvious and lacks reserve and subtlety. very compact and dense frame.
