Community Tasting Note

wineforth Likes this wine:

Monday, April 18, 2022 - 9th bottle from a case bought en primeur. Same ownership as Ausone. Drinking a bottle a year whilst waiting for the left bank wines to be fully ready. Big nose of plums, blackcurrant and cedar with some sous bois in the background. Quite full bodied. A gap mid palate yet a very long finish. The cepage is 80% merlot. Smooth on the palate with loads of soft tannins. A pointe now yet still plenty of life ahead. Very enjoyable. Interesting that far more comments than usual are from France - this is excellent value at c.£26 duty paid.
