2011 DOMAINE DUJAC 2011

(1-2014)
A deft touch of wood frames an intensely earthy, complex and notably ripe nose that features notes of spice, plum and black currant. There is excellent richness, size, weight and muscle to the vibrant middle weight plus flavors that exude a fine extract on the mineral-driven finish that offers extraordinarily good length. This is primary to the point of being quite backward yet it is not hard or aggressive as the balance of structural elements is impeccable and I particularly like the sense of tension, energy and backend lift that makes this already enjoyable to drink though it's nowhere near ready.
