95 Points

Thursday, December 7, 2023 - Holiday Dinner - Mostly Bordeaux (Taberna del Alabardero, Washington D.C.): Wine 3 - Expressive nose displaying perfectly ripe opulent black fruit, crème de cassis, blueberry pie, blackberry, mocha, luxurious oak, cedar, lead pencil and earth. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of rich black fruit, silky and fluid, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long opulent black fruit driven finish with a hint of oak at the end. The most modern/Napa like expression although clearly a Bordeaux. Not as nuance driven as the others. My guess is Mouton.
