Community Tasting Note

Vancouver Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 19, 2020 - Another one down as 8 months of lockdown continues a relentless assault on my cellar.

Nice medium ruby appearance with very little lightening.

Evolved and pronounced nose of black fruits, crème de cassis, vanilla, lead pencil and spice. Classic St Julien nose . In spite of the evolution of the aromatics, there is no sign of the wine being tired or cooked (contrary to the reputation of this vintage).

Medium bodied with lots of similar flavor characteristics on the palate. Medium tannin still remaining with plenty of acidity to keep things fresh and a long, savory and delicious finish.

I love this estate (which always needs time) and this example did not disappoint. Drink now, but this will last " indefinitely" in a cold cellar.
