Community Tasting Note

  April 28, 2024 - Agree with other notes this is a textbook aged BDX. Never had this chateau but have a general understanding of their style. Decanted off sediment and followed for an evening.
  
  Dusty leather, cedar, dried tobacco on the nose. Still some powerful rounded fruit on the finish that showed equal to dusty earth and clay pot. A good bit of tannins still present, as they faded with time in the decanter the aged notes of this wine became more prominent. Very long finish. Towards the end of the night this was drinking like a proper Claret.
  
  Drinking in a very good spot if you are a Claret fan. Obviously high quality and a very complete, well rounded wine that is worthy of its fame.
