Very interesting value Bordeuax from difficult 2011 vintage. Quite spicy nose is followed by cool climate red profile with nuances of forest fruit, wild cherries and again quite a lot of spices and toast. At this point it is young (however there is no harshness at all) and needs to age for 3-5 years to show its true potential, but it is very easy drinking and I think Englishman would describe it as good everyday claret:-)
