Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 17, 2022 - Insanely good wine that lives up to its stellar reputation. I’m hoping the Haut Brion shows as well. Purchased on release and shared by a friend. Cork was perfect. Into the decanter and we dove in about 15 minutes later and followed for a few hours in Zalto bdx stems.

Initially a tad tight and closed, with air this opened and unfolded. Tobacco seemed to be the dominant note, with iron ore and red pepper, along with deep blackberry fruit and a hint of cinnamon. As it breathed, any tar notes seemed to fade when the wine fleshed out. Really large scaled and pasty fruited, fairly inky with great ripeness and balanced acidity. Wow this was good.
