Community Tasting Note

liber Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 6, 2021 - 1st of 6, opened 3 hours, decanted one, perfect cork and level - darkish, not dense ruby, surprisingly little rim development; hugely impressive, classy, nuanced bouquet showing Margaux like violet, some smoke but little brick and tar, in fact closer to Medoc flavour profile than usual Graves notes if with touch more minerality; fullish, outstanding length, persistence and concentration, nice acidic lift adding to fine balance, everything in place and unforced, but more backward than suggested by bouquet, early days with long life ahead. VF+ (19)........if not quite up to the magical 89, vieing with 98 as wine of decade (pace fine 95 and 90) and on this form should give other prem crus in 96 strong competition in this very top vintage!
