Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Monday, December 7, 2015 - Weekly tasting group #195; St. Estephe (@ VD): The color is blood red and shows the first signs of development. In the bouquet beautiful and ripe dark forest fruits. Round and with perfectly integrated oak in the background. On the palate dark berry fruits, cocoa, chocolate, smoky oak, some bell pepper and spiciness. Beautiful acidity, round and still powerful tannin and pleasant bitterness. Truly great wine, possibly holding back a bit tonight. Around 2020+ this will certainly be great!

    I did not organize this tasting, but I know the bottle was decanted approx 4 hours before we tasted it. It will not hurt if you decant it 6 – 8 hours before drinking.
    Cheers,
    Zweder.
