Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Sunday, November 14, 2021 - Commanderie de Bordeaux - Leoville Barton/Satorious Zoom Tasting: Small pour for a winemaker tasting - PnP but waited about 20 mins for wine to aerate in the glass. Nose was sweeter than the '09 showing dark and red fruit with some purple flower. Palate was fruit forward, showing off a hedonistic side of the wine, but not so much tertiary flavors at this point. I would expect this wine to gain additional complexity with more bottle age. It certainly has the tannins, fruit and acidity to age gracefully for quite some time, and I would expect it to have a nice balance of fruit and tertiary flavors in another 8-10 years. 92 today for its hedonistic pleasure, but a chance to pick a point or two with additional time.
