This one will age on balance alone. What an incredible mix of great sexy fruit and forward structure.
Such a silky texture. The kind of texture that makes Jayer wines and some others so appealing.
Not a long aging wine but this is special.
Eric.
You should be happy.
Having this wine next to the 2011 Francois Bertheau Bonne Mares.
A terrific wine itself btw. To me the best in the Bertheau lineup.
This Suchots is really something else. So detailed and accessible.
Thanks Don. I have been drinking quite a few 2011 reds over the last month or so. They are so delicious with their open knit juicy fruit and nice transparency. A bottle of Catherine et Claude Marechal Volnay disappeared in record time last night.
this has for years been my second favorite Suchots, behind the now overpriced Arnoux-Lachaux, though Grivot is evidently quite good, but that’s one I cellar and haven’t tasted.
