Community Tasting Note

Mleh Likes this wine:

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 - I opened this at midday and sipped a glass slowly every hour until dinner at 6.30. The evolution was pretty incredible. Started out with a stunning nose of cherries, cassis, tobacco and earth but the palate was all tannin and oak with only a hint of what was present on the nose. After the first hour it improved a lot, I started to get a little fruit and some leather and tobacco but the tannins really dominated still. By about hour four, it had really opened up and was much more balanced. At this point, the nose had somehow integrated all the aromas I first smelled in such a way as to create something really incredible. The palate too had started to reveal more soil, cherries, cassis, leather, tobacco and even some slight savory notes. These integrated further over the next two hours and by dinner it became really one of the better bordeux I’ve had. It feels mature, like it almost perfectly combines primary and tertiary flavors, there is a really nice amount of acidity and tannin and the finish is endless. Sadly this is my only bottle. I have some 2016s that I probably shouldn’t touch for 20 years..
