Wednesday, February 7, 2024 - NobleRottersSydney - Bordeaux night (Glass Brasserie, Sydney): {cork, 14%} [Andrew] First time with a 1er this young. And it’s very young, although quite drinkable. Beautiful nose of currants, dark chocolate and polished oak. And an exotic spice twist somehow. Less obviously Bordeaux than the older wines, that’s for sure. Intensely packed palate, medium/full in weight, with fine medium chalky tannin, medium acid, with a long, black-edged, even finish. Even at this age, it’s a ‘wow’ wine. Current retail seems to hover around A$2000 so value-for-money isn’t much of a consideration in recommending this, sadly. But, well, ‘wow’ again!
