November 24, 2021 - Legends only: 15 Bordeaux & 2 Heitz MV Magnums: From double magnum. Double decanted roughly 4 hours prior to consumption. This is a crazy wine, so singular in its expression with all the caramel and nutty notes dominating everything. It drinks almost like a dessert. Very complex and hyper precise. It has not the balance and harmony of most other wines we had that night (but this was not officially part of the legends tasting but a table wine for the dinner that followed) but is still an amazing wine.
TN: Bombastic nose, very expressive full of caramel, coffee and toffee notes, so much nutty notes are dominating here, with dark fruit core underneath with loads of herbs. The nose is quite singular, I couldn‘t stop smelling the wine. Definitely 100 pts here. On the palate there is a beautiful sweetness with blue and dark berries and again so much nutty, toffee notes, tobacco, lots and lots of fresh provencal herbs and minty notes as well as a beautiful minerality. Truly singular and spectacular with all aromas delivered in UHD. The tannins melted away but the wine still holds well together with lots vivacity. The acidity is probably a bit too pronounced. The wine has a beautiful fresh feel with the perfect amount of creaminess. Long and expanding, highly complex finish with a touch too much acidity. This is great and easily worth 97 to 98 pts. If the acidity would have been better integrated, this could have been a perfect wine.
