Saturday, October 29, 2022 - Bordeaux and Beyond (The csimm_M Estate): Brought by friend and former colleague dcrutcher to BDX night. Fairly muted nose and even more muted palate of dried dark berries, scorched earth, black currants and a trace of black plums. Medium tannins, light acidity, no heat. This was a head scratcher for me, after loving the ‘10 of this bottling on the trip to BDX in June. Unlike the balled up Montrose and Fig, but more like the seemingly inert ‘16 Ducru, this wine seemed to struggle to find a pulse. I don’t know if it’s in a dumb stage, finito or this was just an unfortunate bottle, but with this wine’s lineage and the quality of this vintage, it’s a mystery I won’t be seeking to solve with my wine spend. Rating withheld.
