WTN: (Don't) put a ring on it

2011 Gemstone Estate Red Yountville Red Bordeaux Blend
Decanted an hour before dinner (lots of sediment) only to find plodding flavors drug down by heavy oak and low acid. We struggled through a glass apiece and dumped the rest. I've had a few really enjoyable '11s from Napa, how did Philippe Melka screw this up so bad?
