Note di degustazione
Floral edged, peony and rose, and again this lovely gentle smudge of smoke. Raspberry and blackberry fruits on the palate, there are fresh acidities here and it should age well, but there is an austerity to it that you find in many 2011s at the moment, particularly on limestone. Feels very Cabernet Franc in its expression, with slate texture on the finish and clear salinity. Less weight through the mid plate than the 2009 and 2010 vintages, but this has real charm, and highlights the limestone character clearly. 50% new oak.

An impressive dark ruby/purple color is followed by a juicy 2011 offering lots of cherry jam, spice and earth. Medium-bodied, pure and surprisingly concentrated, this wine should improve and age nicely for 10-12 years.
Deep crimson. Mocha on the nose, still with that stony dustiness of the Puy-Blanquet. A little bit flatter than the Puy-Blanquet though it's got the same elegant harmony. Smooth tannins. (JH)
