Community Tasting Note

CarpeDiem! Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 23, 2023 - Part of a 2020-1995 Verticale. Difficult to get this vintage wrong, considering the perfect Cabernet S. growing conditions on the left bank in 1996. Yet I already had better 1996s and had expected more umpf. Flattering maturity in the nose, lush ripe cassis, cocoa, plum, tobacco, roast aromas, with some herbal and earthy tones in a the finish. Possibly my palate getting tired towards the end of the verticale, but also some bottle variation over the years.
