Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 12, 2023 - Langton's Bordeaux En Primeur 2022 tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): A different bottle. And this also shows that herbaceous quality. Palate much of muchness, lots of tannins here as well dryings things out. Must be a bad batch. FLAW

Fascinating vintage in the context of the environmental factors at play. Having read your notes and resonating with most of them, i differed with the Larcis Ducasse having quite liked the profile, tannins + the freshness . I hope to bump into you again. Really enjoyed reading your Bordeaux notes from the last few vintages as well. You mentioned you lost your bags en-route to Bordeaux did you ever recover them? How annoying 😆

If you go to tastings you'll probably bump into me, come say "hello"...

cheers,
