Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 26, 2022 - Deep ruby red in the glass. Decanted, has a good amount of sediment. What strikes first is polished new oak, then is followed by red berry fruit (strawberry, raspberry), plum, dried tobacco, vanilla and some dried herb whiffs. Big & broad but has this very fine touch of elegance strung through it which only the best Pauillac can possess. Tannins are still quite tight, but they're not overpowering the acidity or alcohol. Everything will be synced together in the upcoming years, this is just cracking open its drinking window.
