Community Tasting Note

Eric Wright Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 19, 2023 - Tasted at Verve Wine Lafite tasting.

Still dark in the glass, but the purple tint is gone.

Age is immediately apparent on the nose. Still pleasant, but tertiary notes clearly poking through. Old, but elegant. Seems to be just beginning its decline. Light green pepper on the nose. Body is quite light. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot.

After some time in the glass, a lovely sweet, smoky barbecue flavor develops (maybe hoisin sauce)

Lightness and increasing tertiary notes suggest this is not one for the ultra-long term. Nonetheless, clearly a high quality wine with elegance and complexity.
