Purchased at auction for $25. Not decanted. Moderate to heavy sediment. Garnet color. Paired with filet mignon. This was showing some age. The fruit seems to be fading a bit but it had a nice rustic character with tobacco, lead pencil and plum notes. I previously had the 2008 and 2010 vintages which I liked better at a younger age. 89 points.

Had my first of three 2013’s over the weekend. Nose was absolutely gorgeous. Tannins and acid need some time to settle down, but I recall some good stuff underneath.
Have to agree with you about the 2011 VM. I've had several bottles and been underwhelmed each time. Most recent bottle was Feb this year. I still have one left which I'll leave for a few years to see what happens.
