Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 11, 2021 - Alex's 40th Birthday (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): Yummy, and drinking so well now. It had a beautiful, classic Margaux nose, with loamy earth and tea leaves, a waft of tobacco smoke, and then sweet aromas of cassis and plums, with something meaty and umami that reminded me of bak chang (glutinous rice meat dumplings) running behind. Lovely stuff. The palate was very drinkable indeed, with soft acidity and round tannins caressing a velvet mouthful of smoky tobacco, cassis and plums, all fresh and transparent, yet very soft and round. The finish was a little on the shorter side, ending with a nice bit of earth and sous bois. That aside, this was delicious.
