Dark Intrigue

Had a 2011 with a year on it. Scored it at a random bottle shop in Miami out of the cooler. Don't know if it had been in the cooler the entire year it was there, but it was quite good. Still pretty hot though so, since yours can't be any newer than 2011, I'd say it's pretty ripe and not getting any riper.

 

Had a 2011 about a year ago and it really surprised me. Liked it a lot more than I remembered it when it was fresh.

 

I also have a couple bottles of the 2011 batch. Just moved one up to the fridge and will report back when I open it. Shouldnt be to long.

 

A bottle I had about a year ago was decent, except for a kind of weird metallic flavor that I didn't love. It was definitely cool to try, though.

 

I have one from 2011 as well, looks like there's beginning to be just enough drumbeat to crack mine open. Be tough to work it into this weekend's lineup but it may be just the thing for a mid week cellar review next week.

 

I drank my last bottle 2 years ago and it was still pretty good, better than when it was fresh. Kind of wish I had another bottle.
