Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 16, 2019 - Tasted over three days. Another example of the 2016 overhype.

The bouquet and profile feature fresh fruit, considerable oak, and not much else. Also, this is all but placeless, with two experienced double-blind tasters taking it for a New World Cabernet Sauvignon based blend. It showed best on the third day, suggesting the possibility of marginal improvement.

Like so many 2016 Bordeaux, this lacks the requisite structure for long-term cellaring and the middle is constituted by little more than fresh, somewhat extracted, fruit. No reticence, fully approachable, and thus little promise. Drink by 2028-2030. 91-92.
