Community Tasting Note

octopussy Likes this wine:

Monday, August 29, 2016 - Deep purple-black color. In the nose, this was super elegant, shimmering, there were hints of fine oak, cassis and blackberry, floral notes, everything finely woven, cool, complex and elegant. In the nouth, it was super juicy, very structured, it had a fine bite from the tannins and some (yet mild) acidity, it did show quite a lot of sweetness that may be off-putting for fans of classic Léoville-Barton, but this did add to the complexity. Spicy and peppery finish. A great wine that was still quite monolithic two years ago, but starts to enter its drinking window.
