Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 12, 2022 - By the glass from a single bottle. Just a few drops.
This is, for many, the first choice in Bordeaux when looking for some Calvinism austerity, dryness and balance with smoked fruit. Drinking this young lady, you can immediately perceive the elegant notes on the nose and the aristocratic texture that leads you through a magnificent freshness to a long tannic finish. It needs to be rounded up, but at the moment it is already delicious and can only get better in the next decades, or centuries. Certainly at the height of 2005.
Por copas de una única botella. Sólo unas pocas gotas.
Esta es, para muchos, la primera opción en Burdeos cuando buscas la austeridad protestante, la sequedad y el equilibrio con la fruta ahumada. Bebiendo esta jovencita, enseguida se perciben las notas elegantes en nariz y la textura aristocrática que te conduce mediante una magnífica frescura a un largo final tánico. Necesita redondearse pero en estos momentos ya es deliciosa y sólo puede mejorar en las próximas décadas o siglos. Sin duda a la altura del 2005.

On this wine ( which I have 6 bottles) , you express much better than I, my experience of the wine . I love CB , and only wish I had someone to show me/teach me/interest me in the wonder of great Bordeaux when I was younger. ....

Please, feel free to comment everything you want but at the same time consider to share what do you have in your cellar with whom you accept as a friend.
Cheers,

I prefer to share, esp. the wines the whole world talk about. I imagine too that you are an extremely generous host.
