Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 30, 2024 - From 375ml, decanted and swirled vigorously, started drinking right away.

Beautiful velvet purple color.

Initially some off putting CatP, blew off very quickly but came back a little bit. First half glass had remarkable graphite notes, really pleasant, reminded me of Lafite. Strong cassis, velvety but not fuzzy soft. Elegant, round, still very tannic.

Second half glass aerated for an hour, strong cassis, notes of incense a tiny bit of spice, hints of an elegant aristrocratic countess' perfume.

Juicy, fruity, soft, round, still a little chewy on the tannins even an hour and a half in. Nose isn't explosive but it's still extremely intoxicating. Finish is juicy and still very primary fruit.
