Community Tasting Note

70 Points
Thursday, April 11, 2013 - decanted over 30 min. the wine had a weird burning sensation on tongue. it felt a lot like cheap wines that go thru wood chips instead of proper oal barrels. very disappointed, this is not ok for a gran cru classe bordeaux. not buying this again and don't recommend.

I said it didn't taste like it was properly fermented thru oak barrels (like most gran cru classé do) rather it was harsh and acid tasting like cheap wines that get aged with toasted oak chips. it feels weird on your tongue, a bit tannic and awkward.
