| Community Tasting Notes (average 85.2 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by godx on 12/7/2012 & rated 87 points: Bill's Monthly Lunch - December 2012 (Le Gavroche): Medium straw colour. Nose of oxidized apples and canned pear juice with hints of orange zest and soft lemon. Has some weight to it on the palate with a slightly waxy mouthfeel and decent acidity. Some heat/warmth on the austere finish. Good. (1375 views) | | | Tasted by Maverick on 6/29/2008 & rated 84 points: Nothing crazy here. Good blend of SB and Sem and an easy drinker. Pretty good balance but would have appreciated a little more acidity. (1236 views) |

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon Rimmerman |
