Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Tuesday, March 5, 2024 - Half-bottle. Decanted for three hours in a small decanter. Black currant, dark cherry, blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, coffee, cocoa, spices, and stony minerality, with medium-level acidity, well-integrated tannin, and very good length. Medium-bodied, with good concentration and complexity, and a creamy texture. Tight at first, and obviously young, but opened up in the decanter and became accessible and well-balanced despite of its youth. A very good Bordeaux that drink well already (after long aeration), and will continue to develop and drink well for the next 20+ years. I will probably try to find more.
