Community Tasting Note

94 Points
Saturday, February 11, 2023 - Classics (Tøyen, Oslo): Double decanted 1h prior to serving
A tad more muted nose (Mouton 05 was a tough act to follow) of blueberry, redcurrant and sweet red fruits. Showing the sweetness of 03 without the slightest hint of over-ripeness.
Medium bodied, classic profile, nicely resolved tannins and a pretty long finish. A nice stony character, also dried heather, a bit more tertiary palate compared with the nose.
Was expecting a big wine, though this was somewhat gentle, not showing the heat of 03 at all.
Collapsed somewhat in the glass after some 4 hours.
94/95
