Monday, June 19, 2023 - Part of a small Bordeaux 2018 5-years on tasting. The wines were partially served single-blind. Main observations: 1/ the vintage pairs concentration and ripeness with weightless and elegant structures. 2/ tannins are generally finely grained and well-integrated. 3/ Extraction levels managed well with only 1 instance of heat and no overripe fruit. 4/ Best bottles were Canon and Pichon Longueville.
Tasting note:
This was pure, perfumed floral sexiness in a bottle. Red cherry and raspberry fruit, saline minerality and sweet spices on top. A truly satin texture with caressing tannin, great balance and a finish that adds an intriguing graphite touch. The level of detail in the layers and weightlessness were off the charts.
