Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 16, 2023 - 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, balance is Merlot. High quality Haut-Médoc. this wine achieves a spectacular balance of complete flavour ripeness with relatively low alcohol levels (12.5% on the label, but 12.26% in the actual lab analysis). The aromatics are quintessential Bordeaux: cassis, mint-chocolate, bay leaves and cigar box, oak and vanilla, but it is the palate that makes this such a genuinely great wine with its tight medium-body, juicy-savoury bite, firm but molten tannins, and a lingering, satisfying drinkability that can only be from Bordeaux.
