The 2011 is right on the money for quality. It comes down to a matter of style preference to differentiate this cluster of wines, at the very top of which sits the benchmark 2001. Is the new vintage a genuine challenger? The short answer is yes, especially for those who prefer wines where bright fruit characteristics dominate. Perhaps the purists would still go for 2001 with its complexities. Either way, it’s a tight race – you be the judge.
