Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 - Bordeaux tasting - with a few pirates: This was wound a bit tight tonight in my opinion, never fully expanding or offering up the goods. The 2018 Ducru served next to it was by far more expressive and giving, especially on the front end of immediate flavor and intensity. This 2016 was primary and linear most of the tasting, peekabooing here and there, but mostly hiding behind a firm shoulder-shrugging of tannins and bitter berry fruit. A wine to hold for a while if possible. In wine sage terms, this appeared shut down to me. I don’t know if a decanting defibrillator might have woken it up or not. This would have been a wine to sample again on a second (third?) day.
