TASTING NOTE: The 2011 Baron De Magana is a blend of 35% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Tempranillo and Syrah aged in 70% new French oak for 14 months prior to bottling. The wine comes across as a Right Bank Pomerol from Bordeaux, with an opaque ruby/purple color, lush, sexy plum, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, a touch of licorice and forest floor. It's a layered, medium to full-bodied, pure, luscious and heady wine to drink over the next 5-7 years. Drink Date 2016-2023. Score - 91 (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Nov. 29, 2015) |
