Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 - Decanted. Deep, dark cherry-skin colour with garnet fringe. At 1 hour, cool fruit, concentrated, but slightly bitter tannin. A few minutes later, coffee and cassis spell cabernet sauvignon. At 2 hours, the quality barrique shows its poise. Very nicely concentrated, but I'd like to see more length. Which comes not long after, at which point it is clear that I am very close to Cru Classé quality here, and not for the first time with Sénéjac in 2010. Paired with stewed beef ribs, which brings out the sweetness, but after the meal the sweetness dissipates and the wine tightens-up. I'm finding the 2010 Cru Bourgeois generally are not linear in their development and still not fully open for maximum pleasure. I'll leave my other bottles of Sénéjac 2010 untouched for at least another year. Fine with food, but a half-notch lower at very good plus without it.
