Monday, November 2, 2020 - Arvi Bordeaux 2018 Arrivage (Dolder Grand, Zurich): Tasting of 2018 Bordeaux in the bottle. A mixed vintage where St. Emilion often ended up over-ripe and cooked while Pomerol seems to have fared better, as did the left bank. Wine of the tasting was Rauzan Ségla, but the Léovilles (Barton and Poyferré), Pichon Lalande and Clinet presented themselves brilliantly as well.
Tasting note:
Beautiful, fruit-forward nose that tickles all the right nerves. Combines sweet notes without being too imposing, some herbal aromatics, even hints of leather. Fruit profile includes both dark and ripe red berries. A well-structured palate with fruits, herbs, mineral notes and a medium length finish.
