Tasting notes
The 2011 La Confession is very light and slightly diffuse on the nose, one that doesn’t really go anywhere. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp tannins, a little hollow mid-palate with a bitter, rather dry finish. Drink soon. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

Tasted blind. Mid crimson. Shaded rim. Light, evolved nose. Dusty palate – sort of liquorice powder. Not much fun. (JR)
Another terrific effort from Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this beautiful 2011 boasts a dense purple color as well as a big, sweet bouquet of smoky barbecue, red and black fruits, and subtle background oak. Rich, full-bodied and textured, there is not a hard edge to be found in this plush, well-endowed St.-Emilion. Enjoy it over the next decade.
