I saw that, not given very good remarks by Roy in his tasting notes.

I passed. I probably over-bought 2011 as it is, even though I bought mostly super cuvees.

Considering Roy's TN AND the price at $40/bottle I did not think there was a good QPR there....IMHO we've seen better ones at WTSO for $20 to $30/bottle (i.e. 2003 Ferreira at $20 & 2003 Broadbent at $23 in the past two years). At $20 per more likely to have taken a couple, but not at $40.

Roy in case you are wondering your tasting notes do impact port sales.

Roy's note is not encouraging, but does make one wonder if another bottle might show differently. WineEnthusiast gave it 92 points:

I wouldn't buy based just that, but it is another data point.

anything WE scores subtract 4-5 points and you're probably getting close to the real ballpark. Just my $0.02

Up again. More tempted to be a guinea pig, but not quite tempted enough.
