First impression was Ok but this was SO much better after having been open for a day meaning I should've decanted. This was quite nice with pronounced fruit, soft tannins and a medium length finish.

Solid and kind of basic. Nothing wrong just not memorable and is probably more reflective of the vintage age given I’ve thought more highly of it in the past.

Light bodied with very ripe, jammy fruit. More reminiscent of Zin than Cabernet.

Very nice 2011. Feel bad for those that have written the vintage off already.
