Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 29, 2022 - Bordeaux and Beyond (The csimm_M Estate): Another generous contribution from our hosts to BDX night. On the nose and palate, medium notes of red and black currants and berries, char, dark florals, earthy minerality, lead pencil and green leafiness. Medium bodied with medium to thick legs. Medium++ acidity, medium tannins no heat. VG+ intensity, VG complexity and persistence. Another bottle I didn’t return to, I remember thinking that this had among the best lift and energy of the wines, was somewhat tight and seemed a totally different animal than its ‘61 kin (I supposed considering the age difference, how could it not be?). I’m withholding a formal numeric score, both because of the one time, small taste, but also, because, like Bryan, I have a memory of this being more red fruit dominant, which seems at odds with what most of the other TNs and pro reviews mention, which makes me question my memory. If scoring, I’d put it in the 93-94+ range, with the thought that there should be good upside in 5-7 years, then excellent drinking for sometime thereafter. Would welcome revisiting this.
