Community Tasting Note

93 Points

Sunday, April 5, 2020 - Decanted 3 hrs. Having just had the 14 Grand Puy Lacoste a few days ago, I can say without hesitation the nose on this is a dead ringer for a young Left Bank. Cedar, sweet cassis, flowers and more than subtle touch of earth, most enjoyable. In making this a comparison themed note, certainly more dense than its Bordeaux cousins, it nonetheless sports a classic medicinal black cherry profile that while certainly being ripe, never comes across as sweet. Love the mix of cab sav and cab franc here, perfectly playing off each other, with the franc adding savory notes To the party. Balanced, and very fresh, this is quite an accomplishment for a 15 from Red Mt. Scorching hit site, scorching hot vintage. While this is rewarding early drinking this will be a beauty in 5 to 10 years.

    Hour and a half decant and really singing!
    Really like it. Glad to have one more bottle.
    93 pts seems right on the money, great value...
