Community Tasting Notes 8

  • Raizes Likes this wine: 90 points

    September 27, 2021 - 成熟的黑色水果和很多甘草香料,随着醒酒有更多咖啡豆和泥土气息出现。整体香气风格偏沉重,而入口表现也略欠细腻和层次感。单宁厚实、酒精感较强,酸度可以勉强支撑渐入老态的身姿,并在最佳状态时展现出均衡和一些宽广的结构。

    这个分数可能更趋近于现状(89)和巅峰推测(91)的一个折中。二十多年的时光对这款偏现代风格的酒来说可能太长了一些,上次喝过十五年版本的2003,状态要好很多。

    November 4, 2017 - Call this a brief look as opposed to a tasting note, but I'm sitting here with a glass of this in front of me and it's pretty freaking good ;^)

    April 17, 2015 - 100%-Merlot themed dinner (The American Club): Next up was this wine with a bit of balsamic and blueberries on the nose. On the palate, whoa, this seemed a tad overly jammy, inky and chocolatey; Seemed to finish with a slight tinge of bitterness too. Thought this was a bit "New World"'ish...
