Tasting notes
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is a very beautiful wine for the vintage. It retains terrific depth and tons of freshness. The 2011 won't always be this expressive or giving, so I would choose to drink any remaining bottles sooner rather than later. Even so, the 2011 has aged quite well. Crushed flowers, spice, menthol, leather and dried red cherry fruit. Tasted from magnum.

Bealieu's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private Reserve is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today the aromatics are incisive, as are the tannins, both hallmarks of a long, cool growing season. The 2011 stands out for its energy, tension and persistence. There is plenty of potential here, but readers will have to be patient. The 2011 finishes with persistent salinity, energy and tension.
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve Georges de Latour is light and medium-bodied, falling off in the mouth with a clipped finish. It did not possess the substance I expected from this iconic winery. Beaulieu Vineyard (or BV) is definitely returning to the great form they possessed in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. This has been noticeable since the 2007s were released. Tel. (800) 264-6918
