Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 17, 2021 - 30x 1955 & 1961 (mostly Bdx): Tasted single blind. Taste-off between the 1955 and 1961 vintages. The 1955 (80 pts) had not much to offer with a disintegrated acidity and wet cardboard smells. The 1961 (90 pts) showed young and well defined but the acidity wasn‘t that well integrated either. Unsurprisingly, both wines couldn‘t keep pace with the Yquems in the same flight.

TN: Faulty wet cardboard smells on the nose and palate which still showing a nice, undefined sweetness but also an unintegrated acidity. In addition, the finish is not existant.

Decanting: Not decanted. Maybe this would have needed a bit of air.
