This 2011 is still available in some markets. If you happen to be in one of them, run out and buy some of it! The wine is mature but not at all old, and shows Burgundian complexity, with a silky texture, cherry and savory spice flavors, and a deliciously long finish. Very few producers in the United States make anything like it.
