Community Tasting Note

wrote:

88 Points

Thursday, February 22, 2024 - Medium ruby.
Medium black fruit, liquorice & marcipan in nose & mouth, developing.
Dry, medium acidity, medium(+) tannin, medium alcohol, medium body, medium(+) finish.
Very good, can drink now but potential for short term aging.
Structure not unlike a good Haut-Medôc, although no pencil scrapings in the nose/mouth.
Quite accessable, elegant and balanced, would make me expect a mediocre year.
Tertiary notes only starting to develop, but I would not keep this waiting too long as I don´t find the structure sufficiently robust.
Day 2: Fading - confirming yesterday's conclusion.
