  From Coravin. 2016s must be in a dumb phase for me, there’s an astringency here and can’t place it. Nothing really fruit-wise stuck out at first, reminds me of a “mixed fruit” jelly at the diner. But over time it grew a little more complex. The finish is long - graphite, dark chocolate, maybe rose or hibiscus petals or maybe it’s dried tea leaves…I could be crazy.

  Fine bordeaux, litter unpleasant immature taste after sufficient awakening.

  Vins compris 8nov22. Robe sombre légèrement satinée . Nez vanillé, un peu compoté sur la cerise. Cèdre, goudron en bouche. Petite fermeture mais finesse agréable aujourd’hui. Attendre 5 ans ou carafer 30-40 minutes

  I have to agree with TMSTL. It was a mess out of the bottle, and oxygen did not help it at all. It started off with some decent enough aromatics, but it was very thin and tasted diluted. I did not detect any notes of a flawed or oxidized wine; the components were there, but nothing that spoke of the Château or terroir. Time in the glass didn’t do very much for it, so I waited until the next day. It became an unappetizing, sour elixir, and no one had anything positive to say about it. The rest of the bottle went down the drain. I was thoroughly disappointed despite only having limited expectations of the wine to begin with.
  
  Hoping to discover if the first bottle was just a fluke, I tasted again from a second bottle, purchased from a different retailer at a different time. I was disappointed yet again. Very odd.
