Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 8, 2023 - 13% alcohol. The cork is long but soft, and it is imbibed a quarter of the way. Decanted an hour ahead. Deep colour with remarkably little thinning at the rim for a twenty years old wine; no bricking whatsoever.
The nose has intense blackcurrant rounded with spices and leather, pretty classy; no direct oak influence. The mouth is a step behind on account of a certain amount of austerity, nothing exaggerated, but maybe more reminiscent of Estèphe than Julien (let's keep the saints out of it, I don't see this as a church matter); still very enjoyable if you like wines with more grip than easy charm. Likely to live on for ten years at least, but I am less sure about softening up (never mind, there are other wines for that...).
A classic Médoc and a useful reminder of the style of yesteryear's Bordeaux. I like it.
