Community Tasting Note

IvanLi Likes this wine:

Friday, May 10, 2019 - A scary good Bordeaux. Based on the ratings I was expecting a pretty mediocre wine, but it was nothing short of great.
Pure ripe Cabernet fruit in the form of cassis, cedar and cigar tobacco, great Merlot with plush textures and flavors of earth, chocolate and plums, expensive chocolatey and smoky oak and warm pebbles from "the terroir".
Absolutely round in the mouth, great balance and most importantly a splendid combination of ripeness and freshness.
Very close to it's peak according to my taste, as it delivers primary (fresh fruit), secondary (oak influence) and tertiary (tobacco/leather) nuances in a very full package.
On the down side, the wine lacks a bit of depth and finish to catapult it into the 96-98 point range.
