Tasting notes
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon seems somewhat austere for a wine from this first-growth quality vineyard. It has some cedary, herbaceously-tinged, ripe red and blackcurrant fruit, medium-body and light tannin. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

(15.1% alcohol): Bright, dark red with ruby highlights. Aromas of cassis, licorice, flowers, mocha and menthol are lifted by high-toned oak notes of spices and tar. Shows the pepper-and-herb aspect of the vintage but also excellent intensity and definition to its black cherry, cassis and spicy oak flavors. Not fleshy or sweet but well-judged extraction gives this fine-grained wine a light touch. Finishes with a light dusting of tannins and a lingering leafy character. Very much in a northern Medoc style.
