Community Tasting Note

pdrago Likes this wine:

Sunday, March 31, 2019 - Popped and poured. Really lovely right out of the bottle with some depth showing pedigree. Darker fruit. Silky tannin and fresh, balanced acid on the back end. Compact and delicious.

15 min in - Iron and acid showing up. partially shut down.

1 hour in - More iron and acid. Really shut down. Thin and acidic.

90 minutes in - Rounding out. A touch of caramel? rich, silky. Darker fruit emerging. Classy.

2 hours in - Wow... this is gorgeous. Forward with the fruit, very fine tannins, nice back-end acidity, moderate length, very balanced. Super elegant. Absolutely top level 1er cru juice. This tastes so pure. Little to no detectable excessive oak influence. It tastes like it has not been handled heavily.

2.5 hours in. Barnyard starting to show up faintly. A touch of VA too maybe? Palate still singing. Fruit is lush and perfectly ripe. 06 clearly will reward those who can wait. So fresh and elegant.

3 hours in. Everything is integrated and harmonious. I think this is near it's prime drinking window and should hold for a while. Maybe 3-5 more years of this with the fruit still so fresh. Fantastic.
