Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 20, 2024 - At CdB HK dinner. Paired with Certan de May 2014.

This was a tannic primary beast. Not quite like a barrel sample but not far off. Inky, purple/black. Completely closed and sealed up in its tannin and oak straightjacket. Palate is a a wave of dark fruit and then the tannins are vicious basically rendering the wine undrinkable with any pleasure even with food. No Pomerol scent or subtlety here! Needs at least 5 years if not 10 to come around. Wasn’t expecting this!
