Thursday, March 28, 2024 - This was the highlight of our trip

I took time to post and write down a note, as I needed to have better insight, not used to Bordeaux blends so much anymore but after 2 days and many tastings this really stood out !! Even for friends who had Lafitte 2005 earlier this week.

We tasted also Le Pin and Lafleur on more recent vintages but that guy ...

So here are the notes, Nose is spicy, a black peppercorn and dried tomato touch, oak is very integrated, blueberry but it's a lot more spicy than fruity, and tertiary notes come in with a little truffle later.

Palate is vivid, with acid drive, salty and fresh, long, elegant, integrated tannins, and the aftertaste will stay long after the visit is finished ... One gem here
