Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Monday, May 15, 2023 - Tasted regularly, this is one of my favourite wines, and this bottle was exceptional. With a great bottle it can legitimately challenge the Haut Brion and Margaux as left bank wine of the year. Decanting is still essential with 2 or 3 hours bringing out the optimum from the wine. It possesses a beautifully rich nose of blackcurrant, plum and old leather with notes of cedar and violet. The depth on the palate is outstanding with a good tannic spine, and the finish pushes past 60 seconds. I can't quite bring myself to give it a perfect score, but it's tempting. 99+
