Monday, May 23, 2011 - CT Bordeaux Trip, Day 1 (Pauillac, Bordeaux, France): Brilliant - this tasting confirmed my impression of the wine at UGC two years ago. What an incredible nose. Earth, loam, truffly mushrooms, plums, cassis, flowers, a little layer of oak, sweet spices - deep reservoirs of wonderful aromas, so much going on. The palate was absolutely beautiful too. There was pure, pure fruit - tons of fresh wild berries, dark cherries, cassis, with a bit of bramble, some truffle hints. Lovely stuff. There was lots of power here, but it was always the amazing elegance and integration on the wine that stood out. There was lots of finesse from the attack to the long, satiny finish, where fine tannins coated the mouth slightly. Still a very young wine, but this is bursting with potential. Really top-notch.
