Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, May 10, 2022 - I've had this wine more than a half dozen times and I've tried my best to like it. There is cassis and some pencil shavings on the nose, the tannins have softened but remain a bit coarse, there are red and blue fruits, but the fruit does not seem to overcome the tannic profile and structure of the wine, and also it is quite oaky - at least initially. It seems that it has been made with a heavy hand in the cellar and one wonders if when the tannins have softened the fruit will have completely faded leaving just an old wine. Still maybe this is a classic old school Pessac? Perhaps one for the faithful but will not be a repeat purchase for me. It is not unpleasant, it just seem to lack a bit of freshness. From Zalto Universal and Conterno Sensory.
