Community Tasting Note

bendb Likes this wine:

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 - Beautiful deep, clear, red color. No bricking. The cork was fragile, but at 21 years old I'd expect it.

The nose is very Bordelais; cedar, pencil lead, leather, and spices dominate.

More cedar and leather on the palate, mixed with red fruits and mostly-resolved tannins. No noticeable heat. The overall effect is very pleasant - the components are well-integrated.

A nice finish lasting 10-20 seconds for me.

Drank with a steak, some rice, and a lotus-root stir-fry. I really like this bottle! Looking forward to more in the future.
