Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 26, 2021 - As good a young bdx as I’ve ever had. Very accessible in it’s youth with a generous amount of dark plush crystalline fruit. Has considerable depth with a fresh chalky spine. Nose is expressive and quite delineated. Surpassing how fresh and light this is for such a ripe precocious wine. Doesn’t have the magic of aged bdx but really enjoyable now. Tannins come in on the back end but very fine and rather softly textured. Just a hint of vanilla on the nose, otherwise oak well integrated.

Didn't change much on night 2, though the nose was a bit more shy. Powerful dark fruit with a cashmere texture and fine tannins on the back end. This wine seems to be all about the fruit at this point. Yes, this is "glossy" and "sleek" with a modern feel--but it's not overdone at all and retains its "soul" and terroir.
