Saturday, May 28, 2022 - Decanted and followed over 5-6hrs. Pretty closed initially. After a few hours has a rather intense nose. Darker fruited, but some floral nose still notable. Palate is very dense and concentrated. A definite liquor character of the fruit is present. Tannins while strong are refined and polished and despite the concentration of the fruit are still prominent. Intense lengthy finish. Better on night 2 with similar profile.
Unique bdx. Maybe the most powerful young bdx I’ve ever had. Retains some Margaux roots but hard to say where this goes as it’s so unlike anything I’ve had from bdx. Did ‘47 Cheval Blanc stand out like this?
