Community Tasting Note

vagrantone Likes this wine:

Wednesday, September 6, 2023 - I finally opened another bottle of this wine.
Decanted about one hour prior to serving.
Quite pale, but not alarmingly so.
Aromas clearly in the tertiary camp, but that is what I would expect after 45 years.
Classic old-school St Emilion wine from a vintage that continues to provide great drinking pleasure no matter what the "experts" say.
Impeccable balance, just enough tannin. Good acidity keeping the wine light and lively. Spicy, earthy, cedar and tobacco combine to form a very harmonious whole.
Held up in decanter for almost three hours.
Drink soon, but no urgency.
